Now You See Me 3 Trailer: Why Was Mark Ruffalo Missing?

Fans noticed that Mark Ruffalo, who was supposed to reprise his role as Dylan Rhodes, didn’t appear in the latest trailer of Now You See Me: Now You Don’t. Directed by Ruben Fleischer, the third installment in the heist franchise marks the return of thieving magicians. While the over 2-minute clip showcased the major cast members, Ruffalo’s absence from it has raised questions. So, why was the MCU star missing from the Now You See Me 3 trailer? Here are the details.

Is Mark Ruffalo in the Now You See Me 3 trailer?

No, Ruffalo doesn’t appear in the Now You See Me 3 trailer.

Ruffalo’s Dylan Rhodes is a key character in the heist franchise, who was kept hidden in the trailer, and it might be for narrative purposes. The movie focuses on the Four Horsemen —  Jesse Eisenberg as J. Daniel “Danny” Atlas, Dave Franco as Jack Wilder, Isla Fisher as Henley Reeves, and Woody Harrelson as Merritt McKinney — set to conduct another dangerous and greatest heist. However, this time, they are joined by newcomers in this mission.

Ahead of the trailer release, a glimpse of the third installment was provided earlier this month at CinemaCon. At the time, Lionsgate‘s Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson addressed what fans could expect from the upcoming release. He said, “We can’t wait for audiences to discover what [Fleischer’s] done with the third film, and thrilled he’ll be making even more magic with us.” (via Variety)

Will Mark Ruffalo return in Now You See Me: Now You Don’t?

Yes, Ruffalo is confirmed to return in Now You See Me: Now You Don’t.

The MCU actor might be missing from the trailer, but since his return has already been confirmed, he’ll likely show up in the movie directly. At the end of the second installment, Dylan and the Horsemen escape the law. He then visits Greenwich Observatory and meets Allen, Li, and Bu Bu. There, he learns that their leader, Thaddeus, and his father, Lionel, were partners in magic. After sorting things out among them, Thaddeus passes on his mantle to Dylan. Meanwhile, the Horsemen are guided to an entrance to find out more about the Eye.
