One star teases tension between Jesse Eisenberg's J. Daniel Atlas and one of the recruits. In the third installment of the Now You See Me franchise, Atlas recruits a new generation of illusionists for a mind-twisting trick, but they are forced to team up with the original Four Horsemen when facing a new threat.
In an interview with ScreenRant, Dominic Sessa, who plays Bosco, one of the new recruits, explains why his character, in particular, might have a hard time working with Atlas. The actor explains that Bosco, who also functions as the face of his group, , and is "trying to fill his shoes in a way," which potentially creates "conflict." Read his comments below:
I think my character in particular is sort of trying to fill his shoes in a way. We're fighting for the same space because that's how Atlas has existed in this series; he's the face, and people take his lead. He also has that self-righteous attitude towards himself, and I think Bosco definitely shares that a little bit, which maybe creates a bit of a conflict between them.
As seen in Now You See Me 3's trailer, Bosco not only did an Atlas impression, but also bragged about it right before Eisenberg's character walked through the door. On the other hand, Atlas explained that the reason he had to recruit was because he had a fallout with the other Four Horsemen. Sessa's comment about Atlas having a "self-righteous attitude" seems to hint that in the new movie.
