'Now You See Me 2' news: new trailer gives sneak peek at Daniel Radcliffe's character

(Official Facebook)

"Now You See Me" made such a killing in the box office that a sequel is but a natural course for the film. With the tentatively titled "Now You See Me: The Second Act" already set for release in a few months, a new trailer has been dropped and it stars a popular wizard ... only this time, he won't be as brilliant a magician as he once was. 

Daniel Radcliffe is joining the cast of "Now You See Me 2" aka "Now You See Me: The Second Act." But unlike his Harry Potter character, his character Walter Tressler in this caper thriller sequel won't be as good with magic. In the first official trailer released the other day, the 26-year old English actor pops up toward the end and showcases his clumsy magic act.

He seems friendly enough, being all smiles and even mentioning that he's happy to be working with the Four Horsemen, but he may not be one that the group would want to trust. He is, after all, Arthur Tressler's (Michael Cane) son, who received the brunt of the Four Horsemen's Robin Hood tricks in the first movie. 

Aside from Walter's true intentions though, what looks like a worthy thing to watch out for in the new film is how Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman) can possibly retaliate against Dylan Rhodes' (Mark Ruffalo) plot twist in the first movie. He opens the trailer with an implication that the Four Horsemen may not be the Robin Hood that they let everyone believe and that their comeback is a way to show a "bigger reveal." 

Also coming back to reprise their roles are Woody Harrelson as Merritt McKinney, Dave Franco as Jack Wilder, and Jesse Eisenberg as Danny Atlas. Isla Fisher had to beg off of the movie due to pregnancy and in her place is Lizzy Caplan, who will play a character named Lula.

There are also a whole lot of new visual trickery and never-before-seen tricks that will appeal to viewers as much as the previous ones.

"Now You See Me 2" is expected to roll out to theatres on June 10, 2016.
