The new trailer for _Now You See Me 2_ features plenty of mind-bending magic, from disappearing acts to upside-down rain, but of all the cast members, the one with the worst magic skills is, surprisingly, the only one with wizard training: Daniel Radcliffe. Radcliffe joins the returning cast from the 2013 film, which reunites the Horsemen for their biggest and most dangerous heist yet. As Morgan Freeman explains in the trailer, “People see the Horsemen as noble Robin Hoods, but I believe their first act was just the setup for an even bigger reveal.” The Horsemen are now three instead of four, as Isla Fisher isn’t returning, but Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Dave Franco, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine are all reprising their roles, with newcomers Radcliffe and Lizzy Caplan joining them. Jon M. Chu (_Jem and the Holograms_) replaces Louis Leterrier as director. The original was a surprise box office hit, and Lionsgate is already working on a [third movie in the series](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/22/lionsgate-developing-now-you-see-me-3). _Now You See Me 2_ will hit theaters on June 10. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/18/now-you-see-me-2-trailer) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4119046/daniel-radcliffe-magic-now-you-see-me-2-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4119046/daniel-radcliffe-magic-now-you-see-me-2-trailer/"},"headline":"Watch Daniel Radcliffe Lose His Magic in the New Now You See Me 2 Trailer","datePublished":"2015-11-18T20:40:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:44:45.145Z","description":"Radcliffe joins the returning cast from the 2013 film","url":"https://time.com/4119046/daniel-radcliffe-magic-now-you-see-me-2-trailer/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt74b67b3a90c8e589/698871c2e20a879504a8e4ae/nowyouseeme2-radcliffe-vegas-700x351.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Devan Coggan / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt74b67b3a90c8e589/698871c2e20a879504a8e4ae/nowyouseeme2-radcliffe-vegas-700x351.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"nowyouseeme2-radcliffe-vegas-700x351","caption":"","creditText":"Lionsgate","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4119046/daniel-radcliffe-magic-now-you-see-me-2-trailer/","name":"Watch Daniel Radcliffe Lose His Magic in the New Now You See Me 2 Trailer"}}]}] ```
