Two generations of magicians team up against diamond-thirsting supervillain Rosamund Pike in the threequel.
Just with that killer title alone—making up for whatever uncreative mind decided to go with Now You See Me 2 for the second movie in the magician caper series—Now You See Me, Now You Don’t comes ready-made with a certain goofy energy.
The latest trailer for Ruben Fleischer’s threequel gives us a better look at both Jesse Eisenberg‘s returning Four Horsemen crew and the trio of upstarts who join them in trying to rip off a giant diamond from a sleek villain played by Rosamund Pike.
Anyone who’s been longing for a new movie in the Ocean’s 11 series, there’s no Brad Pitt to be found here, but the flavor is awfully familiar otherwise:
You can tell the entire cast knows exactly what kind of movie they’re making, and that’s half the fun; the other half is seeing how all the characters’ talents—ridiculous illusions, effortless safe cracking, whipping off a disguise to reveal another disguise underneath—will factor into what’s clearly a very silly plot.
