In 2013 and 2016, respectively, Now You See Me and Now You See Me 2 both turned out to be surprise massive hits. Bursting with star power, and made for relatively little money compared to most blockbusters, the two movies managed to gross more than $300 million worldwide. Because of this success, some have wondered why it’s taken so long for a third movie to start getting on its feet… but now fans don’t have to wait any longer.
Lionsgate has announced that they are officially making moves towards making Now You See Me 3 a reality, and have started down that particular road by hiring a writer. Specifically, the studio has contracted Eric Warren Singer to come aboard and pen the script. It’s fitting when you consider that the filmmaker was just involved with another years-later sequel: Top Gun: Maverick.
More to come…
