Lionsgate gives itself one year to change Now You See Me 3's title to Now You Three Me

Far be it from us to stop a team of vest-wearing wand enthusiasts from robbing a bank for their audience’s enrichment. But after nearly 10 years of silence from the Magic Castle’s bank robbery contingent, we had all but assumed that Jesse Eisenberg’s days of performing magic crime with The Four Horsemen were over. There are other illusion-based infractions to solve, like catching that dastardly Masked Magician. When will his reign of terror end? Probably never. That’s bureaucracy for you. But just when you think there’s nothing left up Lionsgate’s sleeves, they pull a quarter from behind your ear. Per Deadline, Now You See Me 3 is coming to theaters on November 14, 2025. All the Horsemen from Now You See Me 2 are poised to return, including Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, and Morgan Freeman. They’ll also get some new apprentices, including Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, Ariana Greenblatt, and Rosamund Pike.

We could spend the rest of this article complaining about the vanilla naming conventions of this series, and we will. This is our cause: There’s still time to give Now You See Me 3 a really stupid title like Now You Three Me. It’s an easy layup for a series best known for bungling its titles, particularly by naming its first sequel Now You See Me 2. Seriously, “Now You Don’t” was right there, waiting for the right DVD collection to put the movies side-by-side into the delightful pair: “Now You See Me, Now You Don’t.” How did this miscarriage of movie titling come to be? Now You See Me 2 director Jon M. Chu blamed the marketing department, which reportedly doesn’t like the word “don’t” in titles. This is presumably why Edgard Wright’s Don’t never got off the ground. To his credit, Chu admitted, “We should’ve called it that.”

“We tried very hard to call it Now You Don’t, but the marketing
department — this is true — said, ‘We don’t like the word don’t in a
title.’ And we were like, ‘Huh? This is like the perfect literal
title,’” Chu told Collider. “And they were like, ‘No, we’re calling it Now You See Me 2.’ Can
we at least get an extra word or something? … It breaks my heart when
I see that, because I’m like, ‘Yeah, we should’ve called it that.’ I
agree.”

Speaking of Chu, his film Wicked: Part Two is also bowing in November 2025, along with Zootopia 2 and, presumably, Blade, if Marvel can figure out how to make a movie out of Mahershala Ali wearing a duster and merking vampires with a samurai sword. In the meantime, do the right thing, Lionsgate marketing, and change the title to Now You Three Me.
