Venom and Uncharted director Ruben Fleischer will helm Now You See Me 3. The upcoming movie will continue the Now You See Me franchise, which stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Mark Ruffalo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are three things in this world I absolutely love\u2026 Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson and magic,\u201d said Fleischer. \u201cTo have the chance to work with these two talented actors, as well as the rest of the incredible cast of the Now You See Me movies is a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fleischer has worked with Eisenberg and Harrelson previously, on his debut movie Zombieland. Earning just $100 million at the box office, it was nevertheless considered a success \u2013 debuting at number 1 with the second-highest opening weekend for a zombie movie since the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake.<\/p>\n

Although Venom managed an impressive $856 million, it was received poorly.<\/p>\n

The Marvel-adjacent superhero movie holds a 30% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 362 reviews, so it’s safe to say that critics didn’t exactly love it. IGN’s own review said: \u201cTom Hardy’s committed performance can’t overcome a painful script and indecisive direction, resulting in a film with a personality that’s as split as its titular character. There are occasional moments of brilliance in the dynamic between Eddie and Venom that give a hint of what the movie could have been in steadier hands, but ultimately, that only makes the finished product a more frustrating viewing experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

It’s much the same for Uncharted, too \u2013 with 40% on Rotten Tomatoes and $401 million at the box office. Commercially successful? Sure\u2026 but not exactly well-received.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Lionsgate vice president Nathan Kahane said Fleischer has a “special talent with character-driven blockbuster entertainment” in the release announcing the hiring.<\/p>\n

\u201cRuben has proven time and again that he has a special talent with character-driven blockbuster entertainment,\u201d said Lionsgate president Nathan Kahane. \u201cHe delivers big excitement while ultimately keeping the focus on the characters audiences care about. We feel like we’ve assembled a dream team to get this movie off the ground. For everyone we’ve kept in suspense, the wait is almost over.\u201d<\/p>\n

That certainly sounds as though we’ll be getting more details soon\u2026 and perhaps we’ll find out whether Ruffalo will be back as Dylan Rhodes after the events of Now You See Me 2.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a lifelong fan of heist movies,\u201d added Fleischer. \u201cI love getting drawn in by the twists and the mystery where nothing is what it seems. And that’s even more true when the thieves are magicians \u2013 the opportunities are endless. Eric was able to unlock a fresh and exciting way into a new movie and fun new characters, so I’m excited to dig in even further.\u201d<\/p>\n
