‘Now You See Me 2’ Cast Isla Fisher Pregnant! Aussie Beauty Reportedly Backed Out From Film, Who Will Replace Her As Henley Reeves?

Third time's a charm for "Now You See Me 2" actress Isla Fisher who is pregnant and is reportedly in her third month. The 38-year-old actress already has two daughters with husband Sacha Baron Cohen - Olive, six, and Elula, four.

With her pregnancy, the "Confessions of a Shopaholic" star has reportedly backed out from several filming commitments including her role as High Priestess Henley Reeves in "Now You See Me 2."

"She pulled out of 'Now You See Me 2' Production starts in November and she knew she wouldn't be able to do it," said one source to Us Weekly.

The insider's claim appears to be supported by Fisher's previous statement on why she would rather accept supporting roles than major ones: "Family is 100 per cent my top priority. So I'm much more comfortable doing supporting roles right now."

The Aussie beauty is certainly enjoying motherhood and makes sure that all her kids have been breast-fed: "What I loved about breast-feeding was that bond of one-on-one time. The serotonin that's released calms you down and connects you to the baby."

In another interview with Mirror, the "Great Gatsby" actress also talked about her perspective on having a family: "If you want to do the family thing, you can't have it all and nor should you want to."

Nonetheless, it doesn't mean that she is ungrateful for being chosen to play Henley in the thriller film, "Now You See Me." When asked what she liked about her character, she said: "She's strong, fearless and sexy, and doesn't try to act like a man in order to fit in with the men."

"She's a dream for an actress to play," Fisher added.

"Now You See Me 2" is reportedly slated for a June 2016 release. The producers, however, have not yet addressed Fisher's pregnancy and alleged quitting from the sequel.
