Eisenberg plays J. Daniel “Danny” Atlas, the leader of the Four Horsemen, in the third installment of the popular heist film series. Now You See Me: Now You Don’t continues the story of the illusionist team as they recruit three new skilled magicians for a daring heist to steal the world’s largest queen diamond from a dangerous crime family.
The movie brings back familiar faces, including Woody Harrelson as Merritt McKinney, Dave Franco as Jack Wilder, Isla Fisher as Henley Reeves, and Morgan Freeman as retired magician Thaddeus Bradley. New additions to the cast include Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, Ariana Greenblatt, and Rosamund Pike, who plays the main villain, Veronika Vanderberg.
Directed by Ruben Fleischer, the film is written by Michael Lesslie, Paul Wernick, Rhett Reese, and Seth Grahame-Smith, based on a story by Lesslie and Eric Warren Singer. Lionsgate plans to release it in the United States on November 14, and reports indicate that a sequel may already be in development.
It's very good to be back.
