At this point in his career, Eric Warren Singer is probably best known for his Academy Award-nominated screenplay for David O. Russell’s American Hustle, and it looks like Now You See Me 3 is going to provide him with some interesting creative opportunities. The press release announcing his hiring says that his take “will capture the fun, magic, and spirit of the original, introducing new characters into the world while also creating opportunities for the original cast to reprise their roles. With no actors currently attached to the project, the wording makes one wonder if the sequel may be going in more of a spin-off-style direction, focusing on protagonists who aren’t played by Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Lizzy Caplan, Daniel Radcliffe, and Mark Ruffalo.
