‘Definitely More Magic': Now You See Me Star Dave Franco Teases Franchise's Future
Last Updated: Previously, Franco teased Now You See Me: Now You Don't would be 'everything you want', and said Rosamund Pike's villain was a particular standout. Dave Franco hopes to 'make many more" Now You See Me movies. The 40-year-old actor is set to reprise his role as street magician Jack Wilder in the upcoming threequel Now You See Me: Now You Don't, and with a fourth film also on the way, Franco has shared he hopes the series will continue after the next flick. Speaking with Screen Rant, he said: 'Now You See Me 3, coming out in November — the gang is back, definitely more magic. I'm learning new ways to throw cards. I have the greatest time with that cast. I think our natural love for each other bleeds onto the screen, and I hope to make many more with them." As well as Franco, Now You See Me: Now You Don't – which hits screens on November 14, 2025 – will see the return of his other Four Horsemen co-stars: J. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson) and Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher). Now You See Me: Now You Don't will also see Mark Ruffalo and Morgan Freeman reprise their roles as Dylan Rhodes and Thaddeus Bradley, respectively, while newcomers Ariana Greenblatt, Justice Smith, and Dominic Sessa join the cast as the next generation of magicians. Previously, Franco teased Now You See Me: Now You Don't would be 'everything you want", and said Rosamund Pike's villain was a particular standout. He told Collider: 'We got some new fun characters – we got an incredible villain with Rosamund Pike, who's just an absolute pro. It's everything you want." Reflecting on his Four Horsemen co-stars – who he has appeared alongside since the first Now You See Me in 2013 – Franco said the 'natural camaraderie" they share 'bleeds through onto the screen". The Together actor said: 'I've known this cast for nearly 15 years now, and we all genuinely love each other. There's no set that I laugh on more. I just adore these people, and I think the natural camaraderie that we have kind of bleeds through onto the screen, and people can feel how much fun we're having." In Now You See Me: Now You Don't – directed by Ruben Fleischer – The Four Horsemen appear to have gone their separate ways at the start of the film. In the first trailer, Eisenberg's J. Daniel Atlas tells a new generation of illusionists that his former team is 'dead." He then clarifies: 'To me. Things got too real for them. They gave up stuff." The plot centres on a daring diamond heist that unites both the original Horsemen and new characters, played by Greenblatt, Smith, and Sessa, as they face off against a powerful criminal organisation. The movie's title, Now You See Me: Now You Don't, was revealed during CinemaCon in April, where Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson also announced that Fleischer is set to return for a fourth instalment in the franchise. Fogelson said: 'We were so happy with the director's cut, we're already developing the next chapter. We can't wait for audiences to discover what he's done with the third film and thrilled he'll be making even more magic with us."

It's Feminism vs. a Mother's Instinct on a London Stage
By day, Jessica Parks is a formidable judge in a London court, handing down sentences to drug-dealers, sex offenders and domestic abusers. By night, she's a floundering parent to a teenage son who is being bullied at school. When he is accused of raping a female classmate, Jessica's maternal instincts butt up against her feminist politics. She has always argued that victims must be believed, but her son protests his innocence, and she feels duty bound to stand by him. That's the gist of 'Inter Alia,' written by Suzie Miller and directed by Justin Martin, a successor to the pair's 2023 Olivier and Tony Award-winning 'Prima Facie.' In that play, a defense attorney known for her uncompromising cross-examinations of rape victims is herself subjected to a sexual assault. This follow-up, which runs at the National Theater in London through Sept. 13, essentially inverts the plotline: Whereas in 'Prima Facie' the criminal justice system was on trial, in 'Inter Alia,' the family unit is in the dock. Rosamund Pike, of 'Saltburn' fame, is vibrantly engaging as the embattled heroine, and her commanding stage presence carries an otherwise pedestrian production. Jessica is indefatigably energetic, whether declaiming from atop a table or belting out karaoke numbers. And she's sassy: Regaling us about a conversation with her lawyer husband, Michael, as she irons her son's shirt, she archly points the iron upward and emits a puff of steam when she speaks his parts to indicate her disdain. We are invited to note the contrast between her strong, capable persona and the vulnerable human being underneath it; on several occasions, Jessica remarks on the need to modulate between her 'stern voice' and a softer register — all life is a performance, whether in the courtroom or the living room. Jamie Glover plays Michael with a perfunctory insouciance that befits the role: He is mildly envious of his wife's superior professional status, while she resents him for abdicating the 'emotional lifting' of parenthood. Jasper Talbot as the couple's son, Harry, looks a bit older than the character he's playing, but makes up for it with a sulky bearing and listless, waddling gait. Both these male roles, as written, are somewhat wooden — they are essentially props in what feels, for large swaths, like a one-woman show. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Rosamund Pike looks quirky in a pair of hot pink leather gloves at the press night of her new play Inter Alia
Rosamund Pike put on a quirky display as she celebrated her performance in Inter Alia at a press night after party at The National Theatre in London on Wednesday. The actress, 46, who stars as a High Court judge in the play, wore a floral two piece set consisting of a crop top and midi skirt. She teamed her outfit with a pair of black stiletto heels and opted for a subtle makeup look. Inter Alia, by Australian writer Suzie Miller, comes from the team behind Prima Facie, which starred Jodie Comer. It follows Rosamund's character Jessica Wheatle who is working to change the legal system while juggling her home life as a wife and a mother. Her husband Michael is portrayed by Jamie Glover while Jasper Talbot stars as their son Harry. It comes after revealed she was punched in the face and had her mobile phone snatched violently out of her hand by a 'mugger' on a bicycle. The Gone Girl star spoke of her '15 minutes' of hell when she was targeted by the thief in 2006 as she spoke to her mother while walking down the street. She said she screamed in terror and her mum, Caroline Friend, was left fearing the worst until she was able to call her back on another phone. Rosamund, who starred with Piers Brosnan in Die Another Day (2002), told Magic Radio: 'I was on the phone to my mother — on a mobile phone walking along a road — and I was mugged. 'The phone was snatched so all she heard was me scream and a thud and the phone went dead.' She said the 'mugger' was a kid who sped past her on a bicycle and punched her down the side of her cheek. Rosamund, who was born in London, said the thief took her mobile phone and left her with a bruise on her face. The actress is one of a number of celebs who have fallen victim to the terrifying trend of phone snatching that is sweeping London. Former tennis star Annabel Croft said her mobile was stolen 'clean out of her hands' while she waited for a taxi outside London King's Cross station in June last year. Ms Croft wrote on Instagram: 'I just wanted to warn people who are on their own in London. I just got mugged waiting for a taxi outside King's Cross St Pancreas. 'The man was riding a bike and wearing a black balaclava. He rode straight at me and took my phone clean out of my hands. 'He rode away with it but luckily dropped my phone so I got it back. Terrifying!'

How Rosamund Pike found her true English eccentric red carpet style
At the press night of her West End show, Inter Alia, last night, 46-year-old Rosamund Pike cut a strikingly cool figure. Wearing a full Erdem resort 2026 look comprising a floral crop top and matching trousers, accessorised with her go-to talking point elbow-length leather gloves, she epitomised confident, albeit kooky, midlife style. It's a far cry from her red carpet style at the beginning of her career. Take the 2005 London premiere of her breakout film role as Jane Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, for example. Opting for a Grecian-style draped midi dress, complete with waist-cinching silver belt and matching open-toe strappy heels, she could have been any other starlet walking in off the street. Pretty and chic, yes. But stylish? Not really. How times have changed. Fast-forward two decades and the actress, arguably at the height of her powers post- Saltburn (current projects include Amazon Prime's hit The Wheel of Time, the new Guy Ritchie film Wife and Dog, and her first appearance on the West End stage in a new Suzie Miller play) has become one of a handful of quintessentially posh and eccentric English dressers, alongside the likes of her peers Helena Bonham Carter and Tilda Swinton. While throughout the Noughties she largely played it safe, in recent years, she's become far more adventurous with her fashion. In the past 12 months in particular she's been spotted wearing a roll-call of our coolest designers. In November, she opted for a punkish pale-blue and silver foil mini dress from Rabanne, while a few months later, she switched things up in a tuxedo-style dress from Huishan Zhang with embellishment detail. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Leith Clark (@leithclark) She's also shown a particular fondness for Simone Rocha, wearing a nude-coloured pleated gown from the designer's spring/summer 2024 collection last month, as well as a bright red dress with silver padlock detail from her autumn/winter 2025 collection a few weeks later. On both occasions she wore the designer's Marmite fluffy heels – a conversation-starter, if not entirely everyone's cup of tea. And the love-in is mutual: designers want her to wear their designs. 'I think Rosamund Pike has an incredible sense of style,' says the Kazakh designer Meruert Tolegen, whose pieces she has worn in the past. 'I love that she can be sophisticated and daring at the same time. I was thrilled to see her in one of the dresses from my fall/winter 2024 collection. She looked absolutely stunning in it.' But it's not just the hipster labels that Pike has been turning to, she's also been championing more established household names, like Erdem, Chloé and Dior. In fact, what makes her standout is that she doesn't play it safe when she does wear these classic brands – instead, she takes risks. Case in point, the cropped paisley jacket and long shorts she wore from Chloé on CBS This Morning: no floaty, ingénue dresses for her. Similarly, when she wore Dior in February, she chose to be suited and booted, rather than in an LBD. Fashion expert Bronwyn Cosgrave can trace Pike's fashion-forwardness back to 2002, when she appeared in a backless Jenny Packham dress at the premiere of Die Another Day, yet it was her press tour for A Private War in 2018 that really caught her attention. 'She wore this very dramatic, black Givenchy look,' she says. 'And she just had such star quality, she's like a Vanessa Redgrave, she's drop dead gorgeous and a proper thespian.' It was when Pike started working with the stylist Leith Clark, whose other clients include Parker Posey, Lucy Boynton and Keira Knightley, that her sartorial potential was fully realised, posits Cosgrave. 'Leith has this ability to create the sophisticated cool girl,' she explains. 'Rosamund needed someone to shake her out of Jenny Packham, she needed to take a risk, and it was brave. It's certainly paid off.' For Clark, it was a natural transition from being friends to working together due to their shared sensibility. 'We have known each other for more than 20 years but only started working together a year and a half ago with Saltburn,' says Clark. 'Working together is pure joy. I feel like it's a constant celebration of her, of her work. And I feel like we get to present in a public space in a completely authentic way.' In terms of their approach to red carpets, it's all about authenticity. 'It has to feel and look like her,' she explains. 'That part is instinctual. We also think about what project she's promoting... For example, we started together on Saltburn and definitely wanted to honour her character Elspeth, so in fittings always invited Elspeth in, and thought about her. It isn't like that for each project, sometimes it's more genre based, or a mood, or a feeling.' Pike has more projects in the works which means more red carpet appearances on the horizon – long may her partnership with Clark continue.
