If you have trouble placing the title of the movie “Now You See Me,” a short description would be: it's the movie about those magicians who decide to pair up and do a heist and then brag about it on television. Is starred Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman, Dave Franco, Woody Harrelson and Michael Caine.

A sequel for the movie called “Now You See Me 2” is already in the works and Michael Caine has just let it slip that “Harry Potter” actor Daniel Radcliffe has joined the cast.  In an interview quoted by AceShowbiz, Caine confirmed that they were shooting in London.

“There's a sequel to 'Now You See Me' and we're shooting in London. I shoot in December, the whole of December in London, and my son is Harry Potter,” Caine joked. He also added that “I thought it'd be funny, me and Daniel Radcliffe as father and son.”

The original movie was an instant success despite the fact that it didn't get a big promotional campaign, and that has made some experts call it a sleeper hit. The audience seemed to respond well to the story about a group of magicians who pulled off heists during performances and then let the public keep the money in a sort of modern Robin Hood story.

“Now You See Me 2” is directed by Jon M. Chu who replaces Louis Leterrier and it is expected to arrive in theaters on June 10, 2016.
