What's left behind the scenes

  • Some episodes of the film were shot in Greenwich, southeast London.
  • Filming began after Jay Chou and model Hannah Quinlivan’s wedding in London.
  • “Now You See Me 2” became the sixth joint project for Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine. They had previously starred together in “Freedom: Our Story” and the films “Batman Begins” (2005), “The Dark Knight” (2008), “The Dark Knight Rises” (2012), and “Now You See Me” (2013).
  • The announcement of the third film in the franchise came more than a year before the premiere of John M. Chu's "Now You See Me 2".
  • The role of Li is played by Jay Chou, a very popular actor, singer, composer, and amateur magician in China and Taiwan. He has performed magic tricks, particularly card tricks, on various popular Taiwanese and Chinese television programs.
  • Ayla Fisher, who played one of the main roles in the first film of the franchise, and Lizzy Caplan, who played one of the Horsemen in the second, starred together in Leslie Headland's comedy "Bachelorette" (2012).
  • Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg starred together in Ruben Fleischer's horror-comedy "Zombieland" (2009) and Louis Leterrier's thriller "Now You See Me" (2013).
  • The working title of the film was "Now You See Me 2".
  • As with the first film in the franchise, the cast includes two Academy Award winners (Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine) and three nominees (Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, and Woody Harrelson).
  • Many of the actors involved in the film have appeared in films based on comic book plots. Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine starred in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy (2005, 2008, 2012); Jesse Eisenberg appeared in Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016); Mark Ruffalo worked with Joss Whedon on The Avengers (2012) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), and with Shane Black on Iron Man 3 (2013); Jay Chou starred in Michel Gondry’s comedic action film The Green Hornet (2011).
  • This marks the third collaboration between Morgan Freeman and Dave Franco following their work on Now You See Me (Louis Leterrier, 2013) and The Lego Movie (a full-length animated film by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, 2014).
  • The characters played by Michael Caine and Daniel Radcliffe are father and son in the plot; it is all the more interesting that the actors who dub them in the Russian version – Boris Bystrov and Nikolai Bystrov – are also father and son in real life.
  • At 42 minutes, when Dylan and Tadeusz are talking in the cell, the clock shows seven fifty-seven, and after a cut, the minute hand shows eight minutes to eight.
  • At the 48th minute, when Merritt and Chase are talking in a cafe, Chase initially has glasses on, but they are gone in the next shot.
