Development

In May 2015, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer announced they had “already begun planning” for a sequel to Now You See Me 2 (2016), titled Now You See Me 3. In April 2016, it was announced Jon M. Chu, director of the second installment, would return for the following film. [5] Eric Warren Singer was revealed to be the screenwriter in April 2020. [6] In September 2022, Ruben Fleischer was confirmed to be directing the project, while Seth Grahame-Smith had replaced Singer as screenwriter. [7] The final screenplay was credited to Singer, Grahame-Smith, and Michael Lesslie, with production handled by Bobby Cohen and Alex Kurtzman. [8]

In April 2025, the film's official title was revealed to be Now You See Me: Now You Don't. Chu had previously pushed for the second installment to have this title, but it was rejected at the time for marketing reasons. [9]

Filming

Principal photography began in July 2024 in Budapest, Hungary, with George Richmond serving as cinematographer. [10] [11] Additional location shooting took place in Antwerp, Belgium, from August 28 to September 1, 2024. [12] Taking advantage of rebates offered by the Abu Dhabi Film Commission, filming took place at Louvre Abu Dhabi and Yas Island locations including Ferrari World, Yas Marina Circuit and CLYMB Abu Dhabi. [13] Filming officially wrapped on November 18, 2024. [14] [15]

Music

On June 17, 2025, it was confirmed that Brian Tyler, the composer of the first two films, would be returning to compose the film's score. [16]

Release

Now You See Me: Now You Don't is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on November 14, 2025. [17]

Sequel

In April 2025, during Lionsgate's presentation at CinemaCon, a fourth installment in the Now You See Me franchise was officially confirmed to be in development. Ruben Fleischer is set to return as director. [3]
