Thescreescore – The highly anticipated Now You See Me: Now You Don’t is shaping up to be a thrilling ride, but not without its internal conflicts. Dominic Sessa, who plays the ambitious Bosco, a recruit in the new generation of illusionists, recently revealed some explosive behind-the-scenes tension with Jesse Eisenberg’s J. Daniel Atlas. In an interview with thescreescore.com, Sessa spilled the beans on the simmering rivalry between his character and the established leader of the Four Horsemen.
Sessa paints a picture of Bosco as a character vying for the spotlight, mirroring Atlas’s own self-assured, almost arrogant, demeanor. "I think my character, in particular, is sort of trying to fill his shoes in a way," Sessa explained. "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 conflict between them."
This conflict is further emphasized by Bosco’s audacious Atlas impression in the trailer, a blatant display of ambition right before Atlas’s arrival. The implication is clear: Bosco isn’t just a replacement; he’s a challenger. This dynamic is set against the backdrop of Atlas’s fractured relationship with the original Four Horsemen, leaving him isolated and potentially vulnerable to Bosco’s ambition.

However, Bosco isn’t alone. Co-star Ariana Greenblatt, who plays June, describes their trio as a close-knit family unit, suggesting that any conflict with Atlas will be met with united resistance. This sets up a fascinating power struggle, with Atlas facing not just one rival but a formidable team.
The film’s trailer promises a thrilling alliance between the original Four Horsemen and the new recruits against Rosamund Pike’s criminal organization. But the underlying tension, the clash of egos and ambitions, promises a compelling narrative layer that will run parallel to the dazzling magic and high-stakes heists. Will the seasoned illusionists learn from the younger generation, or will the clash of styles lead to the downfall of the entire team? Only time will tell. Now You See Me: Now You Don’t hits theaters November 14, 2025.
