The Incredible Hulk.

Meanwhile, one of the stars of Now You See Me Dave Franco allegedly leaked the sequel's plot details.

According to reports We Got This Covered, Dave Franco apparently heard the pitch story for Now You See Me 2 as he stated that.

"Last I heard, we were still going at the end of this year. ... I've heard a pitch of the story. It's actually going to be really exciting. I was slightly weary, just because you never know when it comes to a sequel. But I think the first one opened up enough avenues. There are many directions left to explore. There are many places that it can go, and they really - they held true to the spirit of the first one, but it's going to be enough of a departure that it doesn't just feel like a complete copy of the first one."

As it turns it was only a sample story that writers submitted for the sequel as the script for Now You See Me 2 was not yet finalized.

Now You See Me 2 will be helmed by G.I. Joe 2 director Jon Chu as the sequel is scheduled to be released next year.
