'Now You See Me 3' in works

Los Angeles: Lionsgate has started planning for the third installment a year before "Now You See Me: The Second Act" arrives in theatres.

The second "Now You See Me" movie will hit theatres on June 10, 2016, reported Variety.

"We've already begun early planning for 'Now You See Me 3'," CEO Jon Feltheimer said.

Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Dave Franco, and Michael Caine are back reprising the roles. Morgan Freeman and Isla Fisher won't return to the sequel but Lizzy Caplan and Daniel Radcliffe are coming as new members.

The original movie directed by Louis Leterrier raked in over USD 350 million worldwide.

Feltheimer is confident the sequel will match the success of the first one. Jon M Chu takes over the directing seat for the second installment which has wrapped production.
