Meet the 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' Cast (and Find Out Where You've Seen Them Before!)
The third installment of the beloved Now You See Me franchise stars original cast members Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco as the witty group of magicians called the Four Horsemen.
Meanwhile, three younger magicians — played by Ariana Greenblatt, Justice Smith and Dominic Sessa — will join in on the fun, as well.
In the teaser, released April 29, Eisenberg reprises his role as J. Daniel Atlas but needs to enlist the help of the three new magicians because his fellow Four Horsemen are "dead" to him.
The younger and resident magicians will join forces and work alongside Morgan Freeman's character, Thaddeus Bradley, as they try to take down a group of criminals run by Rosamund Pike's character.
Here's everything to know about the new and returning actors starring in Now You See Me: Now You Don't.
Jesse Eisenberg will reprise his role as J. Daniel Atlas, an illusionist and street magician.
In the first film, Atlas helped create the Four Horsemen and remained their leader for the second film. However, the group had a falling out, so in Now You See Me: Now You Don't, Atlas decides to forge ahead with three new magicians.
Luckily for the new crew, the rest of the three Horsemen end up saving Atlas and his new magicians after they find themselves in trouble while trying to steal the "most valuable jewel in history."

Eisenberg hasn't spoken too much about the third film, but he told GamesRader+ in October 2024, "Every day we walk onto set and pinch ourselves because the set pieces, the magic, the ensemble, it's really, truly miraculous."
Off-screen, Eisenberg has been with his wife, Anna Strout, since 2001 and the couple share one child.
Dave Franco returns to the franchise, once again, as Jack Wilder.
He is the youngest member of the Four Horsemen and was a simple street magician and pickpocket before joining the group.
Despite having a falling out with Atlas, Wilder surprises him when he suddenly appears in the midst of a theft gone wrong and candidly tells Atlas in the trailer, "[I'm] saving your a--."

When he's not on set, Franco spends time with his wife, actress Alison Brie, whom he married in 2017.
Isla Fisher returns to the cast as Henley Reeves, the only female in the Four Horsemen.
Reeves, who was once Atlas' assistant and ex, is a clever escape artist and stage magician.

Now You See Me: Now You Don't marks Fisher's return to the franchise as she was unable to star in the second film, Now You See Me 2, because she was pregnant at the time. Lizzy Caplan, who played Lula May, was added to the cast as a fill-in for the Four Horsemen.
Off-screen, Fisher was married to Sacha Baron Cohen from 2010 to 2024. The former couple share three children.
Woody Harrelson reprises his role as Merritt McKinney, a mentalist and hypnotist.
Despite being the oldest member of the Four Horsemen, McKinney often enjoys being unhelpful and playing with people's minds any chance he can get.

When he isn't acting, Harrelson spends time with his wife of over 15 years, Laura Louie, and their three children.
Mark Ruffalo, who starred as Dylan Rhodes in the first two films, was not shown in the trailer for Now You See Me: Now You Don't, but he has been confirmed as a part of the cast.
In April 2025, Variety noted that Ruffalo would be returning to the film in some capacity.
His character, Rhodes, is an FBI agent who was trying to capture the Four Horsemen, but changed his motive after his history with magicians was revealed in the second film.

Off-screen, Ruffalo is married to Sunrise Coigney. The pair married in 2000 and have since welcomed three children.
Morgan Freeman is the last returning cast member who is confirmed to appear in Now You See Me: Now You Don't and was shown in the April 2025 trailer.
Freeman plays Thaddeus Bradley, a former magician who worked behind-the-scenes to expose magicians' secrets and profit from solving their mysteries. Bradley is often one step ahead of both the Four Horsemen and the authorities.

"My Horsemen, you were brought together for a reason — to bring down two generations of criminals with a single sleight of hand," he tells the group in the Now You See Me 3 trailer.
While he acts as a father figure in a lot of his roles, Freeman also has four children of his own off-screen.
Rosamund Pike is in her villain era.
Pike will make her Now You See Me debut as the wealthy leader of the Vanderberg crime family.
"For decades, the Vanderbergs have been selling diamonds to warlords, arms dealers, traffickers to help launder their money," Atlas tells his fellow magicians in the Now You See Me: Now You Don't trailer.
Vanderberg immediately goes to war with the Four Horsemen after they try and steal her beloved "heart jewel" in the upcoming film. She's seen meeting with fellow criminals and loading a gun in the teaser.

Off-screen, Pike has been dating Robie Uniacke since around 2009 and the pair share two children.
Dominic Sessa stars in the Now You See Me franchise for the first time as Bosco, the leader of the new group of magicians.
In the trailer, he pretends to be Atlas in front of an audience and even tells his fellow magicians, "My Atlas was spot on."
Sessa became a breakout star when he made his acting debut in the 2023 film The Holdovers. He won a Critics' Choice Movie Award for the role and was nominated for a BAFTA Award.
Sessa's acting career seems to just be getting started, as he was also cast as the late chef Anthony Bourdain in the biopic Tony.
Ariana Greenblatt will make her Now You See Me debut as June, the only woman in the new group of three magicians.
Greenblatt took the new role seriously and told Nylon prior to filming in August 2024 that she had enrolled at the Magic Castle — an academy for magic enthusiasts.
'I've been at the Magic Castle every other day, learning magic,' she told the outlet. 'My magic teacher is so awesome; he is one of the best ones. So I get to know all the magician tea.'
Greenblatt got her acting start in the Disney Channel TV show Stuck in the Middle in 2016, but she rose to fame in 2023 when she played America Ferrera's daughter in the blockbuster film Barbie.
Greenblatt has also had prominent roles in 65, In The Heights and Ahsoka.
Justice Smith rounds out the new group of magicians and plays Charlie.
Smith landed his first acting gig in 2014 when he appeared on the Nickelodeon comedy series, The Thundermans.
He went on to act in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), Detective Pikachu (2019) and All The Bright Places (2020) alongside Elle Fanning.

Apple TV claims huge viewership increase for Leagues Cup. Here are the details.
Apple TV has had a 100% viewership increase during the first week of the 2025 Leagues Cup tournament compared to last year, Leagues Cup executive director Thomas Mayo told USA TODAY Sports on Saturday, Aug. 2. Inter Miami's first match in the tournament against Atlas on July 30, which was Lionel Messi's first game after his MLS All-Star Game suspension and Rodrigo De Paul's debut with the club, became one of the top three most most-viewed matches on MLS Season Pass in 2025, Mayo added. FS1 and Univision have also claimed double-digit rating gains, with official numbers expected to be announced later this week. Social media impressions have also increased by 233%, according to the Leagues Cup executive. The format is catching on: While 93% of the matches are between Major League Soccer clubs and Mexican Liga MX teams from Mexico, the teams are competing to be among the top four from their respective leagues to reach the knockout stage. Matches tied at the end of regulation immediately go to penalty shootouts, adding thrilling finishes like Mazatlán's 11-10 win over Los Angeles FC to settle a 1-1 draw. Mayo credits the players' 'energy and excitement to win' as a major factor in the first week of viewership success. 'It boils down to a positive narrative of this rivalry between the two leagues, and we're seeing that come out strong in these four opening games,' Mayo said in a phone interview. 'This is a tough competition to win. The performance levels are high, and the fans and viewers are liking it.' The buy-in from players and coaches has also been significant, with Messi delivering a glowing compliment to the tournament's format change after he delivered the game-winning assist in Inter Miami's 2-1 win against Atlas. 'It's a nice test for us too, playing against Mexican teams. Now the format has changed, and honestly, it's more enjoyable and easier to play, right? And it's a nice competition,' Messi said in an Apple TV interview. 'Though we're playing against Mexican teams, the table is on our side, and we have to score more than the others. So, winning is very important.' Messi led Inter Miami to the first Leagues Cup title, shortly after his MLS arrival in 2023. He was injured and did not play in the 2024 Leagues Cup, won by the Columbus Crew. The first phase of the 2025 Leagues Cup group stage has provided some memorable moments. Reigning MLS Cup champions L.A. Galaxy beat Tijuana 5-2 on July 31. It was a big win for the Galaxy, who rank last in the MLS Supporter's Shield standings, while both Tijuana goals were scored by 16-year-old Mexican phenom Gilberto Mora. The Seattle Sounders, who played in the FIFA Club World Cup, dominated 7-0 against reigning Concacaf Champions Cup winners Cruz Azul on July 31. Pedro de la Vega finished with a brace, but his final goal of the match may be one of the best goals scored this year. 'I didn't actually know what I was going to say to them in the locker room because it was such a tremendous win for the club. In this club's history, it ranks right up there with all of the big wins that we've had,' Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer said after the match. FC Cincinnati, led by MVP candidate Evander, won 3-2 against Monterrey, a significant win against a side that played during the FIFA Club World Cup. 'We have the chance to win the Supporters' Shield, MLS Cup [and] we came with everything to win this Leagues Cup, and we are going to go for it,' Evander said. Phase One continues with Messi and Inter Miami facing Necaxa on MLS Season Pass, while Club America faces Minnesota on FS1/TUDN on Aug. 2. The final three gamedays for Phase One are Aug. 5, 6 and 7 — when the knockout stage will be decided. The Leagues Cup quarterfinals are Aug. 19-20, the semifinals on Aug. 26-27. The final and third-place match will be played on Aug. 31. The finalists and third-place winner will receive berths to compete in the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup — a pathway to the next Club World Cup in 2029. 'For some players, the Leagues Cup is their first international tournament and some teams could win their first international trophy,' Mayo said. 'People are starting to recognize that over the next 10-20 years of how important this will become as a cornerstone of not only global soccer, but for U.S. Soccer as well.'

The Social Network 2 Replaces Jesse Eisenberg's Mark Zuckerberg With HBO Star
, also known as The Social Network Part II, may have found a new actor to play Mark Zuckerberg. The Social Network was released in 2010 by Sony Pictures. Directed by David Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin, the film stars Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin, and Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker. Last month, it was reported that Sorkin would both write and direct a sequel to The Social Network. It was then announced just yesterday that both Jeremy Allen White and Mikey Madison are top choices to star in the film. Who has joined the cast of The Social Network 2? According to Deadline, Succession star Jeremy Strong is the 'top choice' to play Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network 2. 'Sources say no formal offer has been presented but that he is the top choice to play the Facebook founder,' the article states. '…Sony and reps for Strong had no comment.' The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that, while Strong appears to be in the running to play Zuckerberg, it's also possible that he could be playing a Wall Street Journal editor. 'One source said that Jesse Eisenberg, who earned an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Zuckerberg has passed, at least at this time, on reprising the part,' the publication's article reads. 'Whether that is a negotiating tactic or not remains to be seen.' The Social Network 2 is believed to 'focus on how the company's own reporting pointed to the negative effects the company's social media was having on teens and kids, how it knew misinformation was proliferating and causing violence, and how it contributed to the coup attempt of Jan. 6, 2021.' Sorkin, Todd Black, Peter Rice, and Stuart Besser are all producing the movie. A release date has not yet been announced.
