If you couldn't get enough of those magical hijinx featured in NOW YOU SEE ME, then I hope you're not sawing some poor woman in half right now as it is confirmed they've brought in a real magic expert to lend the sequel some weight! Harry Potter himself, Daneil Radcliffe, will be joining the ensemble along with the always lovely Lizzy Caplan (pictured below) and GREEN HORNET's Jay Chou. The Jon Chu-directed sequel will take place one year after the events of the first film and will focus on The Four Horseman finding themselves face to face with a new enemy who enlists them to pull off their most dangerous heist yet.
NOW YOU SEE ME ended up being a pretty by-the-numbers cops and robbers flick with some silly magic entertainment thrown in. As pointed out in our review, it would have been a lot more fun if we joined the magicians for the bulk of the ride, so here's hoping they do some of that for the sequel. And I swear, if Radcliffe doesn't at least thrown on some Harry Potter-esque glasses for a couple of seconds, then this movie has failed me for the (first and) last time.
NOW YOU SEE ME 2 will bee seen in theaters June 10 2016.
