“When Now You See Me was being made, the script wasn't fully developed,” the Social Network star said. “I was the first actor they came to. They said, ‘Do you want to be in this movie?' I said, ‘I like it a lot. What could I play?' And they said, ‘Well, you could change your character. What would you like to play?'”
