Jesse Eisenberg shares that the new movie, “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t“, features an unexpected plot twist which left him puzzled initially as well.

In November, the highly anticipated third installment of the captivating magic series hits theaters, reuniting Jesse Eisenberg with Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Isla Fisher as the enigmatic team of Four Horsemen magicians. Rumor has it they’ve been working on an extraordinary illusion.

During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Eisenberg hinted that there’s an exceptionally clever and highly impactful plot twist in the movie.

He went on to say, “I’m not revealing any secrets, but the surprising turn in the story is thanks to some exceptional performances. Trust me, it’s mind-blowing. In previews, the finale has driven audiences wild, but when it comes to figuring out the plot, I’m as clueless as can be.

The actor admitted that director Ruben Fleischer had to clarify the scene for him before filming. He was surprised to find out that audiences seemed to grasp the scene immediately, even though he struggled with it despite reading the script multiple times. He expressed his amazement, saying something like, “Wow, I must be missing something or the audience is incredibly perceptive. I read the script several times, but I still got it wrong. Remarkably, not only do they understand it, but they seem to enjoy it as well.

A full ten years since I first watched Now You See Me in 2013, and two more after its sequel, Now You See Me 2, graced our screens, this latest film reunites the crew for another thrilling caper.

Eisenberg once again takes on the character of J Daniel Atlas, this time bringing together fresh faces – Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, and Ariana Greenblatt – who are also illusionists. Their mission? To swipe the most precious jewel ever created from the Vanderberg family’s wealthy grasp. However, as the operation unfolds with increasing intricacy, Atlas’ former comrades will step back into the scene to lend a hand.

In the upcoming film, Mark Ruffalo once again takes on the character of Dylan Rhodes, while Morgan Freeman reprises his role as Thaddeus Bradley. Joining the franchise is Rosamund Pike, who will portray the Vanderberg heir in this latest installment.

Upon learning there would be a third installment, everyone quickly expressed interest, as Eisenberg shared with Entertainment Weekly, hinting at some exciting surprise cameos.

The unexpected cameos in the film are equally thrilling and unpredictable, far from being dull or mundane. They provide a delightful jolt, a unique blend of surprise and originality.

Now You See Me 3 will be released in US and UK cinemas on 14 November 2025.

The new edition of Living Legends is here! Buy Gaga in newsagents or online, priced at just £8.99.
