Hints and Reactions About Caplan’s Role in the New Movie

When speaking with ScreenRant earlier in February 2025, Lizzy Caplan seemed uncertain about the completion of Now You See Me 3’s production. Later, in a September 2025 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jesse Eisenberg responded to questions regarding Caplan’s return, emphasizing the excitement of surprise moments in the film.

“I’ll put it this way. The surprise appearances in the movie are just as much fun as they are surprising. These are not boring appearances. It’s the best kind of shock because it’s a surprise but also done in such an unusual way.”

— Jesse Eisenberg, Actor
