‘Now You See Me 2’ Movie Update: Cast Members Start Filming In Macau; Isla Fisher Out, Izzy Caplan In!

"Now You See Me 2" is now in the works after the confirmation of several sources that the cast and crew members are already in Macau to continue the scenes.

Roads surrounding the Macau Science Centre will be closed on different days to give way to the production. Apart from the center, Lan Kuau Lai and its surrounding area will also be used for the shoot.

A year after being known for their magical prowess, the Four Horsemen return in "Now You See Me 2" where they will be facing a new enemy.

Jesse Eisenberg, Dave Franco, Woody Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine will be returning for the sequel aptly titled "Now You See Me: The Second Act."

New characters have been introduced as well including Daniel Radcliffe and Lizzy Caplan.

Daniel Radcliffe plays the role of Arthur Tressler's (Michael Caine) son. The "Harry Potter" actor is expected to take the role of a villain. Meanwhile, Lizzy Caplan is an entirely new character who replaces Isla Fisher as the film's lead female star.

A few months before the production started in November, the "Confessions of a Shopaholic" star pulled out from the project because of her pregnancy.

Third time's a charm for Isla Fisher who already has two daughters with husband Sacha Baron Cohen - Olive, six, and Elula, four.

As previously reported by US Weekly, Isla Fisher made her priorities clear.

"Family is 100 per cent my top priority. So I'm much more comfortable doing supporting roles right now."

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

But that doesn't mean that she is ungrateful for being chosen to Henley in the thriller film.

When asked what she liked about her character, she said that Henley's "strong, fearless and sexy, and doesn't try to act like a man in order to fit in with the men."

Fans are hoping that Lizzy Caplan will bring a new twist to the story. "Now You See Me: The Second Act" will hit theater screens on June 10, 2016.
