As a sucker for any film dealing with magic and magicians, I was hoping to enjoy NOW YOU SEE ME a lot more than I did. Unfortunately the films various twists and improbable tricks left me feeling a little cold; sure, the film was fun but the story about a group of magicians performing grand illusions in order to pull of heists could, and should, have been so much better. NOW YOU SEE ME's box-office performance and charming cast were enough to earn it a sequel, with a third entry already a possibility, and I'm enough of a sucker to return for the Four Horsemen's second act. Lionsgate has released a group of new character posters (via Facebook, EW, InStyle, People and Den of Geek) for NOW YOU SEE ME 2, and you can check those out below!
A synopsis for NOW YOU SEE ME 2:
One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public's adulation with their Robin Hood-style magic spectacles, The Four Horsemen resurface for a comeback performance in hopes of exposing the unethical practices of a tech magnate. The man behind their vanishing act is none other than Walter Mabry, a tech prodigy who threatens the Horsemen into pulling off their most impossible heist yet. Their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names and reveal the mastermind behind it all.
NOW YOU SEE ME 2 will appear in theaters on June 10, 2016.
