The next installment of the Now You See Me movies series is officially in the works, as a new report suggests Lionsgate has tapped Top Gun: Maverick co-writer Eric Warren Singer to write the screenplay for the third movie.
According to the report, Singer will bring a “fresh take” to the series with Now You See Me 3, introducing “new characters into the world while also creating opportunities for the original cast to reprise their roles.”
He adds: “The Now You See Me franchise has been built on keeping the audience surprised and guessing.
“Eric Warren Singer has always been fascinated with the fine art of deception and illusion in all of its forms and he came to us with a great story that takes the mythology of Now You See Me and pushes The Four Horsemen to a whole new level with our key returning cast and new characters,” says Lionsgate Motion Picture Group President Nathan Kahane.
