The Four Horsemen are back!

Lionsgate during the CinemaCon 2024 revealed that they are bringing back together the cast that made up the first film—Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrellson, and Dave Franco, DiscussingFilm first reported.

It also said that “a new generation of magician thieves” would join them.

Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chair Joe Drake previously announced that Reuben Fleischer (Venom) will direct the film and that production will begin in spring.

Eisenberg, who plays the stage magician J. Daniel Atlas, told Collider in an interview last March that he had already seen the script for the third installment.

Now You See Me (2013) is about the Four Horsemen, a group of magicians involved in an elaborate heist. They pull off "amazing magic shows that drain the bank accounts of the corrupt and funnel the money to audience members," the synopsis read.

It followed with a sequel in 2016 with Lizzy Caplan replacing Fisher's character, Henley Reeves. At that time, Fisher was pregnant with her third baby with her now-estranged husband, Sacha Baron Cohen.
