It's official: Daniel Radcliffe among the new stars to appear in 'Now You See Me 2'

The tricksters are at it again only they've added some players to the deck.

It has been announced that Daniel Radcliffe ("Horns," "Kill Your Darlings,"  "Harry Potter Films,"), Lizzy Caplan (Showtime's "Masters of Sex," the upcoming "The Interview") and Jay Chou (Taiwanese mega-star) will be joining the magicians for their newest show in "Now You See Me 2."

Radcliffe, who is repped by UTA and ARG in the UK and attorney Fred Toczek  will play Walter in Liongate's Now You See Me 2.

 

Caplan will play Lulu. She is repped by WME, Mosaic and Jackoway, Tyerman, Werthheimer, Austen, Mandelbaum & Morris. 

Jay Chou, who is represented by JVR Music, will play Li.

The threesome will join the ensemble cast that includes Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson, Michael Caine and Dave Franco.

One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public's adulation with their mind-bending spectacles, the Four Horsemen resurface in Now You See Me 2 only to find themselves face to face with a new enemy who enlists them to pull off their most dangerous heist yet.

 

Jon Chu (GI JOE: Retaliation) will direct the film from a script by Pete Chiarelli and Ed Solomon. Producers are Bobby Cohen, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.

Erik Feig, Co-President of the Motion Picture Group, along with Geoff Shaevitz, President of Production, will oversee the project for Lionsgate.
