Now You See Me: Now You Don’t (2025)
Genre: Heist · Thriller · Action
Director: Ruben Fleischer
Writer(s): Michael Lesslie, Paul Wernick & Rhett Reese, Seth Graham-Smith (story origins credited)
Runtime: 113 min
Quick overview
The third entry in the Now You See Me franchise reunites the Four Horsemen with a new generation of magicians for a high-stakes, globe-hopping heist. The film blends big-scale illusions, modern tech (deepfakes, holograms) and franchise twists as the team goes after “the Heart,” the world’s largest diamond, while exposing criminal networks. The movie opened to mixed but generally warmer notices than earlier sequels and performed solidly at the box office.
Plot (short, spoiler-aware)
Twelve years after the original events, three young illusionists pull off a daring crypto-theft stunt that draws the attention of veteran magician J. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg). Recruited by the secretive Eye, the reunited troupe targets Veronika Vanderberg (Rosamund Pike), an unscrupulous diamond-industry magnate. What starts as a heist becomes a layered plan to reveal corruption and right past wrongs — with theatrical reveals, large set-piece illusions and the franchise’s trademark double-crosses.
Performances & Characters
Jesse Eisenberg returns as the cocky Daniel Atlas, now a figure who engineers the team’s comeback.
Woody Harrelson (Merritt) and Dave Franco (Jack) reprise their lively dynamics; Isla Fisher returns as Henley after missing the previous film.
Rosamund Pike as Veronika Vanderberg brings icy menace as the film’s antagonist.
Newcomers Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa and Ariana Greenblatt add youthful energy and new skill sets to the magic crew.
Direction & Style
Ruben Fleischer directs with a glossy, fast-cut style that favors spectacle and set pieces over quiet exposition. The film leans into modern tech illusions (deepfakes and holograms) to update the franchise’s playbook. Critics noted the movie’s showmanship and ensemble chemistry while sometimes critiquing thin logic behind the mechanics. For an audience that enjoys pulpy theatricality and clever stagecraft, the film delivers.
Box Office & Reception
The film performed strongly worldwide in its opening, contributing to a roughly $149M worldwide total in early reporting; reviews were mixed to positive with some critics calling it an improvement on prior entries. Audience reactions skewed favorable for fans of the franchise’s spectacle.
