Jesse Eisenberg is ready to make Now You See Me 3, like, right now.

“That’s why I love, love them so much, and I’m so desperate to do a third one, Eisenberg toldCollider. “It’s like the only time I could kind of lower my antidepressant dosage because I feel so at ease and comfortable with myself as a performer because the character is.”

The actor went on to echo these statements in an exclusiveYouTube interviewabout his upcoming film Manodrome: “It was amazing. It was like a vacation, because I got to feel good about myself every day on set. So when I heard they were making a third one […] If they could make one of these a year, I could finally wean myself off anti-depressants because they make me feel so great.”

The all-star ensemble cast includes Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Mark Ruffalo, Dave Franco, Michael Caine, Lizzy Caplan, and Morgan Freeman. Zombieland helmer Ruben Fleischer is set to direct the third installment.
