Back in March, Eisenberg was asked for an update on Now You See Me 3, and confirmed that he’d already read the script for the film. He said the plan was to film this year.

“Yeah, I did [read the script]. Hopefully it will happen in the next six months. I think it will, it seems like it will. Yeah, it’s really great,” Eisenberg told Collider, adding that the Now You See Me 3 script “celebrates intelligence, and it’s non-violent but exciting.”

“It’s so weird to see that because it sounds so obvious, and it sounds like that would be common, but it’s actually quite uncommon to have a movie that’s this franchise, this Hollywood-style movie that’s really just about teamwork and intelligence, rather than just violence,” Eisenberg added.
