Back in 2016, Lionsgate gave the green light to a third Now You See Me film — before the second one had even hit theaters. Now that the sequel is out (and seven years old), the production company is finally moving forward with Now You See Me 3.
Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chair Joe Drake announced the news during an investors call this week. He also confirmed that Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer was onboard to helm the project.
Drake described the forthcoming installment as a “reimagining” of the first two films, with production set to begin next spring.
The first Now You See Me, released in 2013, starred Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo, and Morgan Freeman. Directed by Louis Leterrier, the film centered on a group of justice seeking, bank robbing magicians being followed by the FBI. Jon M. Chu helmed the sequel, which arrived three years later.
