The first film’s storyline follows a team of daring magicians who call themselves the “Four Horsemen” who pull off a series of bank heists and robberies during live magic performances, taking money away from the corrupt and rewarding their audience with the money. An FBI agent (Ruffalo) and an Interpol detective track them, but they can’t find concrete evidence due to the illusion of their heists. The second film follows the team as they flee to China and meet a tech wizard (Daniel Radcliffe) who gives them the task of stealing a powerful chip that will hack into every computer in the world.

All that is known about the plot so far is that the story will once again explore the world of the “Four Horsemen” magicians and introduce the audience to a new generation of magicians (Greenblatt, Sessa, and Smith).

Eisenberg confirmed in an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last week, that the third film was in the works, as there had been speculation online. He stated, “Yes, it’s happening,” as the live audience cheered, “You know, the world has been asking for it, and we said yes.” In the interview, he also tells Jimmy Fallon they start filming in about two months.

The crime thriller is set to have a new director, Ruben Fleischer. He is known for his work on directing films like Uncharted and Zombieland. Louis Leterrier directed the first picture released in 2013, and Jon M. Chu directed the second in 2016.

The screenplay was written by Eric Warren Singer, Seth Graham Smith, and Mike Lesslie. Other writers include Gavin James, Ed Solomon, and Neil Widener. They will partner with Bobby Cohen and Alex Kurtzman of Secret Hideout to produce the film, and Chisom Ude will be the executive producer. Lionsgate will return to distribute it.
