When "Now You See Me 2" was released last June, Lionsgate already started working on the third instalment of "Now You See Me."
Most of the original casts will return except for Isla Fisher who will be replaced by Lizza Caplan.
According to Lionsgate CEO John Feltheimer, as published in Variety, they already finished planning the third sequel and filming is good to go. This was announced during a conference call to discuss the quarterly earnings of the company.
Faltheimer even added that as soon the second installment hit the theaters, "Now You See Me 3" has started filming. It might be surprising but it was actually true, neither a deception nor an illusion.
A report from Cinema Blend disclosed that some of the actors who shall reprise their roles are Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman, Dave Franco, Woody Harrelson, Michael Caine, and Jessie Eisenberg.
Meanwhile, the company is confident that "Now You See Me 3" will top the $350 Million earned by the original comedy adventure way back 2013. It can be recalled that Lionsgate had been successful also in some other movies like Twilight, Hunger Games, Divergent, and John Wicke.
The film shows a story revolving on the four criminal magicians, which are also referred to as the Four Horsemen. They use their magical performance and tactics to rob a bank or a certain rich individual.
Jon M. Chu will helm the third movie from a script by Ed Solomon and Pete Chiarelli.
Even if the first film debuted with different reviews, Lionsgate is putting an assurance that the two sequels "Now You See Me 2" and "Now You See Me 3" will prove that the trilogy is a good investment.
