The Four Horsemen Are Back In 'Now You See Me 3' Trailer

So here we are. Nearly a decade after Now You See Me 2 disappeared into the fog of mid-2010s cinema, the Four Horsemen are back—cards in hand, smirks in place, and miraculously not buried under the avalanche of superhero fatigue or streaming-induced amnesia. Now You See Me: Now You Don’t just dropped its first trailer, and true to form, the franchise couldn’t just release it. Oh no. It had to conjure it—via a full-blown Times Square stunt, a countdown clock, and actual cash giveaways.

Let’s be honest: the Now You See Me films have always been the cinematic equivalent of a Red Bull-fuelled Vegas magic show—sleek, slightly ridiculous, and weirdly watchable. They shouldn’t work. And yet, somehow, they kind of do. This time around, director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Uncharted) takes the reins and adds a fresh shuffle to the deck: Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher (yep, she’s back), and Dave Franco return, but they’ve brought backup in the form of three new illusionists—Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers), Ariana Greenblatt (Barbie), and Justice Smith (Detective Pikachu).

If the first trailer is anything to go by, the energy is somewhere between Ocean’s Eleven and a Vegas residency—with body swaps, costume quick-changes, holograms, levitating diamonds, and a slightly older, just-as-smug J. Daniel Atlas (Eisenberg) orchestrating the chaos. And yes, Morgan Freeman’s smooth-talking Thaddeus Bradley is back too.

In the trailer, there’s a diamond. A villain (Rosamund Pike, because obviously). And a new-gen heist squad that gets recruited via tarot card. I’m not making that up. The trailer opens with Sessa pretending to be Eisenberg’s J. Daniel Atlas, only for the real Atlas to reappear with a pocket full of sleight-of-hand. It’s pure franchise logic: the more convoluted, the better. “Eight magicians against a worldwide criminal network,” says Greenblatt’s character. “I like our chances.”

But what keeps this franchise interesting—even when it borders on the absurd—is how confidently it sells the spectacle. It doesn’t apologise for the implausibility. Instead, it leans in. Magic here is a flex. A power play. A genre unto itself.

With Now You See Me 4 already in development, Lionsgate clearly thinks this rabbit hole goes deeper. And hey, if each instalment gets shinier, sillier, and more star-studded, who are we to argue?

The third act hits theatres on November 14.
