They will be joined by a new addition to the franchise.

Later we can see it in the movie Borderlands from Lionsgate itself.

The film that we currently refer to as Now You See Me 3 has been described as a “reimagination”.

Plot details are currently under lock and key.

The franchise, which centers its plot around thief illusionists known as the Four Horsemen, has grossed $687 million in the global box office.

Bobby Cohen and Alex Kurtzman of Secret Hideout are producers.

In a recent interview, Eisenberg let slip the possible title of the third installment, saying: “When I read this new script for Now You See Me, or Now You 3 Me, as we've been calling it (I'll get in trouble for that), I think, 'Oh wow, these actors who I'm friends with, all of them great actors, are going to be so funny in this.' I love acting more than anything because that's my job. So when I watch a movie with a more Hollywood plot, I don't really care about that stuff that much. But when I see that it's full of these great actors, I'm very excited.”
