Now You See Me 3 Stars Want to Suit Up as DC’s Teen Titans

Actors on press tours always get the superhero question, and this one turned into a fun little spiral. While promoting their next movie, Ariana Greenblatt and Justice Smith tossed out which comic-book characters they’d like to play — and the answers jump from DC to Marvel and back, with a dash of age math and one surprised Spider-Man reaction.

The picks (and a couple curveballs)

On the Just The Nobodys podcast, the Now You See Me 3 co-stars got asked the classic: who would you play?

• Ariana Greenblatt went straight for DC: she wants Catwoman. She also tossed in that she’d love to play a teen version of Gamora. Yes, that’s Marvel, not DC — she knows — but she’s already played young Gamora once, and, as she put it, the character grows up.
• Justice Smith admitted he’s not exactly a Marvel encyclopedia, but he used to want to be Gambit — mostly because he always picked Gambit in the old X-Men games. Then he learned about the heavy New Orleans accent and decided he didn’t want to tackle that part.

Justice Smith vs superhero age math

Smith also talked about the weird way superhero casting lines up with actual ages. He thinks he’s too old to play Miles Morales now — he’s 30, Miles is a teenager — but pointed out Andrew Garfield was around 30 when he suited up as Spider-Man. The host then claimed Tom Holland is in his 30s and still swinging, which is debatable, but it led to Smith’s most honest moment of the chat:

I thought he was done. They’re doing another Spider-Man?

It’s a tiny exchange, but it’s a good snapshot of how murky superhero timelines and casting chatter can be, even for people in the business.

And about the actual movie they’re promoting

The two were out there for Now You See Me 3, which Lionsgate is currently calling Now You See Me: Now You Don’t. It’s on the calendar for November 14, 2025.
