‘It’s everything you want’: Dave Franco teases Now You See Me: Now You Don’t
Dave Franco has vowed 'Now You See Me: Now You Don’t' will be "everything you want" - with some "new fun characters" set to join 'The Four Horsemen' in their magical heist.
Dave Franco has teased ‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’ will be "everything you want".
The 39-year-old actor is set to reprise his role as street magician Jack Wilder in the upcoming threequel, and has now teased ‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’ will delight fans - with Rosamund Pike’s new villain being a particular stand-out.
Speaking to Collider, Franco said: "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."
As well as Pike, ‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’ will introduce the next generation of magicians as portrayed by Ariana Greenblatt, Justice Smith, and Dominic Sessa.
Meanwhile, Franco will be reteaming with his fellow ‘Now You See Me’ co-stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Mark Ruffalo and Morgan Freeman.
Reflecting on reuniting with 'The Four Horsemen' - as portrayed by himself, Harrelson, Eisenberg and Fisher - Franco pointed to the "natural camaraderie" they share, which he believes "bleeds through onto the screen".
He 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."
‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’ - which is being directed by Ruben Fleischer - will see the return of ‘The Four Horsemen’, though they appear to be disbanded as a group in the early moments of the movie.
Eisenberg’s J. Daniel Atlas tells a new generation of illusionists his former team is "dead" in a trailer for the new flick, which is slated for release in November.
He clarifies: "To me. Things got too real for them. They gave up stuff."
The story of ‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’ revolves around a diamond heist, involving both the original Horsemen and newcomers played by Greenblatt, Smith and Sessa, as they work together against a criminal organisation.
Greenblatt’s character declares in the trailer: "I like our odds."
The title for ‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’ was unveiled last month at CinemaCon, where Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson revealed Fleischer would also return for a fourth movie.
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."
Fleischer added: "Directing ‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’ was as much fun as making any movie in my career.
"It combines two of my favorite things - heist movies and magic - and working with this incredible cast was truly magical. Of course I want to keep it going."
