JESSE EISENBERG'S MAGIC MOMENT: 'NOW YOU SEE ME 4' IS HIS HAPPY PLACE
The two-time Oscar nominee can't wait to return to the Four Horsemen—and he's got serious love for playing street magician J. Daniel Atlas.
Jesse Eisenberg is ready to pull off one more trick! According to Deadline, the actor recently gushed about how much he adores his role as street magician J. Daniel Atlas in the Now You See Me franchise, calling it "my happiest place." After three films of illusions, heists, and card tricks, Eisenberg says he's "never felt happier" than when stepping into the character—and he'd absolutely "love to do" a fourth installment.
The two-time Oscar nominee clearly has a soft spot for the franchise and his magic-wielding crew. While no official Now You See Me 4 is locked in just yet, Eisenberg's enthusiasm suggests the 42-year-old isn't ready to retire his top hat anytime soon!
Meanwhile, Eisenberg has been busy making the international rounds. Us Weekly reports he recently attended the 60th Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic, where he received the President's Award. At the event, the actor—who holds dual citizenship—addressed whether politics might affect where he plants his roots, telling the crowd he's "a very lucky American" and making clear that he won't let outside forces dictate his home.
