Keep moving. That is the secret to it all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Morgan has acted in a slew of films\u00a0over the years, but\u00a0he says Driving Miss Daisy and Invictus best represent his career. He also shared his desire to make a movie with <strong>Meryl Streep<\/strong>, whom he described as &#8220;the best.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">His latest project will see him reprise the role of\u00a0Thaddeus Bradley in\u00a0Now You See Me: Now You Don\u2019t, the\u00a0third installment of the Now You See Me franchise. Asked what he loves most about revisiting the character, Morgan says, &#8220;You\u2019re more comfortable learning your lines, you\u2019re more comfortably ensconced in the role, you\u2019re more comfortable interacting with the same actors that you were interacting with before. You know what to expect. It makes it easy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now You See Me: Now You Don\u2019t arrives in theaters Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright \u00a9 2025, ABC Audio.
