Despite his limited public appearances, Freeman continues to act frequently, having appeared in two movies in 2024:My Dead Friend ZoeandGunner.

The actor will also appear next year inNow You See Me 3, as part of a star-studded cast that also includesJesse Eisenberg,Mark Ruffalo,Woody Harrelson,Ariana Greenblatt,Lizzy Caplan,Isla Fisher,Rosamund Pike,Justice Smith,Dominic SessaandDave Franco.

While Lionsgate hasn’t confirmed the official plotline forNow You See Me 3, the second film ended with a major reveal about the leader of the Eye, so it’s likely that the third film could pick up after that and showcase how the Four Horsemen (Eisenberg, 41, Harrelson, 63, Fisher, 48, and Franco, 39) have been dealing with their new roles in the secret society.

Filming forNow You See Me 3ended on Nov. 18, with a caption onthe movies' official Instagram accountreading, “Your eyes don’t deceive you. That’s a wrap on the next installment of#NowYouSeeMe— coming to theaters November 14, 2025. 🪄.”
