The Now You See Me film series consists of heist-thriller films, based on original characters created by Boaz Yakin and Edward Ricourt. The overall plot centers on a team of illusionists named The Four Horsemen, who use their stage productions as a means of completing unfeasible and lucrative heists. The films feature an ensemble cast including Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Michael Caine, Lizzy Caplan, and Morgan Freeman.
Though the series as a whole has received mixed critical reception, they have been met with a more welcome response from audiences, and have been a financial success at the box office. The first two films combined have grossed nearly $700 million worldwide.
The series will continue with a third film in pre-production.
