Where Was 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' Filmed?

""I wanted to hit those same notes of the previous films, where it's a travelogue," director Ruben Fleischer says. "And since I'm going to these amazing places, I'm going to try to feature as beautiful and cinematic locations as I can possibly find. When you're doing bank heisting magicians, you want to elevate it as much as possible.""

""Once we realized that we were shooting in Hungary, we specifically scripted things to take place in Europe," Fleischer says. "Originally, the first act was more New York-based. Instead of trying to create New York in Budapest, we decided to lean into the Europe of it all.""

"Now You See Me: Now You Don't not only reunites the original Four Horsemen, a group of renegade magicians (played by Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco), but also introduces new characters into the mix. A group of young, budding magicians-Justice Smith's Charlie, Dominic Sessa's Bosco and Ariana Greenblatt's June-team up with the old hats to steal the Heart Diamond from tycoon Veronika Vanderberg (Rosamund Pike). The adventure takes them around the world, eventually ending up in Abu Dhabi."

Now You See Me: Now You Don't is a jet-setting adventure that moves from New York and Belgium to France and Abu Dhabi. Production took place primarily in Budapest, Hungary, in summer 2024 for budgetary reasons, with local craftsmen and soundstages used to build additional sets. Scenes were scripted to take advantage of European locations rather than recreating New York. The film reunites the original Four Horsemen (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco) and adds a younger trio who team up to steal the Heart Diamond from tycoon Veronika Vanderberg, concluding in Abu Dhabi with an escalated third act.
