10 More Movie Sequels That Are FINALLY Happening

10. Now You See Me 3

Though calling the second Now You See Me movie "Now You Don't" might've been an epic missed opportunity, the bigger one wasn't producing a third film in a timely fashion.

After all, in 2016 Now You See Me 2 grossed a tidy $334.9 million worldwide - against a $120 million budget - and yet progress on a potential threequel has proven sluggish in the years since.

Director Ruben Fleischer and screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith were confirmed in late 2022, after which word on the film went radio silent for an entire 18 months.

But in a recent interview with Collider, franchise star Jesse Eisenberg revealed that the script was complete, he'd read it, and he expected the sequel to begin shooting in the next six months.

Going by the production cycle of the first two films, it's reasonable to assume that if Now You See Me 3 wraps before the end of 2024, it'll release in late 2025 or early 2026.

Whether audiences will still care about this unexpected franchise almost an entire decade after the last movie, though, remains to be seen.
