It was one of most disappointing films full of style but lacking in everything else but like it or not Now You See Me 2 is coming and today the official cast & plot have been revealed.

With sequel to Louis Leterrier’s movie about a group of magicians pull off impossible heists now been pushed fast into production Lionsgate have confirmed that Daniel Radcliffe has joined the cast. This news is not as new as Michael Caine let slip last month that the boy wizard Harry Potter was joining playing a role as the grandson to Caine’s character Arthur Tressler. This could suggest he may also be the film’s ‘villian’  Walter Tressler  largely thanks to the actions of the Four Horsemen (the magicians group name).

Lionsgate have also confirmed that Masters Of Sex star Lizzie Caplan and Green Hornet/Asian actor Jay Chou are also joining the cast however there is no word on what part they will play. What we do know is Caplan will pay a character called Lula however the word is she won’t be replacing Henley Reeves played by Isla Fisher , Chou will play a character called Li.

Here’s the official synopsis:

One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public’s adulation with their mind-bending spectacles, the Four Horsemen resurface in Now You See Me 2 only to find themselves face to face with a new enemy who enlists them to pull off their most dangerous heist yet.

Despite the film been a flop critically the box office say differently with Now You See Me raking in around £300 million ($350 U.S) worldwide hence the follow up movie. Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman are all set to return with G.I Joe director Jon M.Chu now behind the lens.

There is no official release date yet for UK&Ireland but 10th June 2016 has been set for American release expect the same date or later for UK.
