Jesse Eisenberg Recruits a New Generation of Illusionists in Mind-Bending Now You See Me: Now You Don’t Trailer

What the Trailer Reveals:

• A New Era of Magic: Eisenberg’s Atlas emerges from hiding to train a crew of Gen Z magicians (played by Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’s Gavin Leatherwood and Stranger Things breakout Priah Ferguson), who blend high-tech hacking with old-school sleight of hand.
• Bigger, Bolder Heists: The team pulls off impossible stunts—including a mid-air bank robbery and a vanishing act involving an entire subway train—all while being hunted by a ruthless tech billionaire (The Bear’s Ebon Moss-Bachrach).
• Twists Galore: The trailer hints at double-crosses, secret societies, and a jaw-dropping final reveal involving Isla Fisher’s long-missing Henley Reeves.

Why It Matters:

June 17, 2025 – The veil has finally been lifted on Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, the long-awaited next chapter in the blockbuster magic-heist franchise. The first trailer reveals Jesse Eisenberg returning as the brilliant but unpredictable J. Daniel Atlas, this time mentoring a crew of young, tech-savvy illusionists in their most dangerous mission yet. With mind-bending visuals and a fresh cast of rising stars, the film promises to reinvent the franchise while staying true to its signature blend of spectacle and surprise.
A New Generation of Tricksters.

Atlas, Eisenberg’s character, comes out of hiding after years to form a new group of magicians, each with their own set of skills: Gavin Leatherwood (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) as a charismatic card sharp who can manipulate probability itself
Priah Ferguson (Stranger Things) as a street-smart escape artist specializing in impossible heists.

Manny Jacinto (The Good Place) as a skeptical tech genius who debunks magic while creating his own
Jahzir Bruno (The Witches) as the youngest member, a prodigy with an uncanny ability to read people
The trailer teases their explosive dynamic as Atlas pushes them to pull off increasingly audacious stunts, all while staying one step ahead of a mysterious new threat.
Bigger, Bolder Illusions
Director Jon M. With jaw-dropping set pieces that seamlessly combine real-world effects with computer-generated imagery, Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, Wicked) raises the stakes: A mid-air casino robbery where the team steals a vault while skydiving
A subway car disappearance act performed on a moving train
A hall-of-mirrors showdown that bends reality itself

Early footage suggests Chu has doubled down on the franchise’s commitment to real magic, with cast members undergoing months of training with professional illusionists.
Old characters are back, as are new threats. While the focus is on the new team, the trailer offers tantalizing glimpses of familiar faces:
A cryptic cameo from Dave Franco’s Jack Wilder, last seen fleeing authorities in Now You See Me 2
Isla Fisher’s Henley Reeves appears in what may be a flashback – or something more surprising

The Bear, played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach, is a villainous tech billionaire who hunts the Horsemen. The trailer’s most shocking moment comes when Atlas whispers, “The real trick isn’t stealing the money – it’s making them believe we’re still the bad guys,” hinting at the film’s central mystery
