The huge success of Now You See Me back in 2013 was a little unexpected for Lionsgate, and the studio pushed ahead quite quickly with a sequel for the magical heist movie which stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Lizzy Caplan.
Now You See Me was made for $75 million, which wasn’t cheap, but it made $350 million plus around the world – so, hugely profitable. The sequel is set for release next year and will see the return of the notorious Four Horsemen.
One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public’s adulation with their Robin Hood-style magic spectacles, the illusionists resurface for a comeback performance in hopes of exposing the unethical practices of a tech magnate. The man behind their vanishing act is none other than WALTER MABRY [Daniel Radcliffe], a tech prodigy who threatens the Horsemen into pulling off their most impossible heist yet.
Their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names and reveal the mastermind behind it all.
Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo and Sir Michael Caine return for some more fun, and we’ll see them up on the big screen as of June 10th, 2016.
Watch the one-minute-long teaser, which also features that another famous movie wizard, below.
