Every New & Returning Actor In The Now You See Me: Now You Don’t Cast

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t is the third movie in the franchise and brings the Four Horsemen back to team with three new young magicians who want to stop a corrupt diamond mogul. The new Now You See Me movie brings back the original four lead characters from the first film, but also keeps the one replacement from the second movie.

Along with the returning cast members, there were two other big names returning, although one was only in the Now You See Me: Now You Don’t ending stinger. Finally, there was the new big bad of the story, and her main henchmen, as the Now You See Me heroes are only as good as the best enemy they can take down with their cons.

Jesse Eisenberg As J. Daniel “Danny” Atlas

Character: Danny is the arrogant and self-professed leader of the Four Horsemen. It is Danny who first reaches out to the new trio of magician con artists who have co-opted his team’s name, revealing that the Eye wants all of them to work together to take down a South African diamond company.

Actor: Jesse Eisenberg returns for Now You See Me: Now You Don’t as Danny, but he has also been working hard both in front of and behind the camera. Eisenberg has two Oscar nominations, for The Social Network and A Real Pain, the second of which he wrote and directed as well.

Woody Harrelson As Merritt McKinney

Character: Merritt McKinney is the oldest of the Horsemen, and the member who specializes in mentalism and hypnosis. When Now You See Me: Now You Don’t opens, he had been contemplating suicide after the dissolution of the Horsemen and his feeling culpable for the imprisonment of one of their friends.

Actor: Woody Harrelson is the most experienced actor to be part of the Horsemen lineup itself. He has been acting since the 1980s, where he enjoyed his breakout on TV’s Cheers. He then built a solid filmography of hit movies, including White Men Can’t Jump, Natural Born Killers, Zombieland, and The Hunger Games franchise.

Dave Franco As Jack Wilder

Character: Jack Wilder is the youngest member of the Horsemen and the one who specializes in sleight of hand and cardistry. Since the team’s breakup, he has been working as a cruise ship magician and lamenting his missed opportunity with fellow former member, Lula May.

Actor: Dave Franco returned as the youngest member of the Horsemen in Now You Can See Me: Now You Don’t. He has been building a career both in front of and behind the camera, as he starred in his brother’s The Disaster Artist and then directed a movie starring his wife, Alison Brie, called The Rental.

Isla Fisher As Henley Reeves

Character: Henley Reeves was the escape artist in the original version of the Horsemen from Now You See Me, but she had left the group before the second movie. She returns here, admitting she stepped away from her work after becoming a mother, but that she also misses the risks and danger involved with the Horsemen cons.

Actor: Isla Fisher returns for Now You See Me: Now You Don’t after a one-movie absence, and she quickly showed why she was such a popular character. She enjoyed her breakout in rom-coms like Wedding Crashers and Definitely, Maybe. She has primarily worked on TV and in voice roles since 2021.

Lizzy Caplan As Lula May

Character: Lula May is the escape artist who replaced Henley in Now You See Me 2. She is also not called upon for this con, although when she learns what is going on, she shows up anyway to help out as a fifth Horseman, despite Henley being back. Lula also has unfinished business with ex-boyfriend Jack Wilder.

Actor: Lizzy Caplan replaced Isla Fisher in the second Now You Can See Me movie, and she returned along with Fisher as well. Caplan made her name in the TV series Masters of Sex and then took on some significant roles in movies like Mean Girls, Cloverfield, 127 Hours, Hot Tub Time Machine, and The Interview.

Morgan Freeman As Thaddeus Bradley

Character: In the first Now You See Me, Thaddeus Bradley was a former magician who devoted his time to being a magician debunker. However, this was just a cover story, and he was actually the former grandmaster of the Eye, the group that sent the Horsemen on missions. He returns, even though he had retired, to help the Horsemen.

Actor: Morgan Freeman remains the most experienced actor in the movie, an antagonist in the first film and an ally from that moment on. Freeman is a five-time Oscar nominee, winning in 2005 for Million Dollar Baby. Freeman remains a beloved actor, with his voice taking on a life of its own, becoming literally the voice of God in cinema.

Justice Smith As Charlie

Character: Charlie is one of three new main cast members, the leader of a trio of young magicians who have taken up the Horsemen’s cause to take down tech bros and other unscrupulous business people who have ripped off innocent people. Charlie works behind the scenes for his team, planning all their cons and tricks.

Actor: Justice Smith is one of the new stars in the Now You See Me franchise, easily the most important member of the new trio of magicians. He got his biggest break when he gained roles in the franchise movie Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and the massive IP film Detective Pikachu. However, his best performance might be in I Saw the TV Glow.

Dominic Sessa As Bosco Leroy

Character: Bosco Leroy is the most off-putting of the trio of new magicians, a young con-artist with a bad attitude who seems even more arrogant and cocky than Danny, making them a combustible pair. In the end, though, Bosco is just protective of his friends and is still a valuable asset for the con.

Actor: Dominic Sessa is the least experienced actor in the new Now You See Me movie. Before taking on the role of one of the new younger magicians, his most significant role came in the Alexander Payne coming-of-age drama The Holdovers in 2023, for which he won the Critics’ Choice Movie Award for Best Young Performer.

Ariana Greenblatt As June

Character: June is a master of different skillsets, as she might be the best fighter of anyone in her trio or the Horsemen. She is a skilled gymnast and acrobat, and she can scale buildings with ease as well as slither around a fight without any chance of getting caught. She also rivals Jack in picking locks and solving puzzles.

Actor: Ariana Greenblatt was the most impressive new cast member in Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, as she won over fans with her athleticism as well as her acting. Before this movie, she had early roles in A Bad Mom’s Christmas and Avengers: Infinity War, as well as Barbie and the streaming series Ahsoka.

Rosamund Pike As Veronika Vanderberg

Character: Veronika Vanderberg is the new villain for the Horsemen and their new friends to take down. Her father secretly used his diamond business to launder money for former Nazis, and she has continued the family tradition for a wide range of criminals. Now, as she shows off the family’s most precious asset, the Heart Diamond, the magicians are teaming up to bring her to justice.

Actor: Rosamund Pike takes on the role of the latest villain in the Now You See Me franchise. She got her start with a massive franchise, playing a Bond Girl in Die Another Day, before taking on more serious roles in movies like Pride & Prejudice and Gone Girl. Recently, she took on the lead role in The Wheel of Time series.

Thabang Molaba As Lethabo Khoza

Character: While his role is smaller than almost anyone else in the movie, Lethabo Khoza plays an important part in Now You See Me: Now You Don’t. He is the right-hand man and muscle for Veronika. He is there to attack and disrupt the Horsemen’s plans by any means necessary.

Actor: ​​​​​​​Thabang Molaba is the least familiar actor in Now You See Me: Now You Don’t for American fans. This was his first-ever movie, and his only experience before this came on South African television shows, with Blood & Water the most notable thanks to its Netflix connection.

Mark Ruffalo As Dylan Rhodes

Character: Dylan Rhodes was the leader of the Four Horsemen, and he was not in Now You See Me: Now You Don’t at all until the final teaser for the next movie. He couldn’t have been involved, thanks to a late story twist involving Charlie, but did show up via a recording to tell the three newcomers they are now officially part of the group.

Actor: Mark Ruffalo was only in the final post-credit stinger for the movie, but he remains a main cast member, especially for the franchise’s future. He has a long career in movies and TV, with most people knowing him as the Hulk in the MCU. However, he also has four Oscar nominations, with the most recent being for Poor Things in 2023.
