It’s been almost a decade since the last Now You See Me movie, but the franchise is coming back with a third installment that sees old and new magicians team up for a series of heists.
The best part of these movies has always been watching the Horsemen and their friends pull off their seemingly impossible schemes, and according to Jesse Eisenberg, the upcoming movie has some even more fun in store.
Eisenberg cryptically told Entertainment Weekly that a “genuinely brilliant, incredibly effective twist” will change the course of the entire film. Said scene would demand “some really great acting,” although Eisenberg admitted he didn’t entirely get it at first, even after reading the script three times. It was only after Eisenberg asked director Ruben Fleischer to explain the scene and then actually shooting the scene itself when everything finally clicked: “Apparently people go nuts for the ending in test screenings, but I am like an idiot when it comes to plot. […] People will not only understand [the twist], but love it.”
If you liked Now You See Me 2 and wished Lizzy Caplan were here, you may also be in luck. Eisenberg teased some surprise appearances that will be “as much fun as they are surprising. These appearances aren’t boring—it’s the best kind of shock because it’s a surprise but also done in such an unusual way.” According to him at least, the entire film will both “blow your mind.”
Now You See Me: Now You Don’t will be conjured into theaters on November 14.
