Its the first time you see that Merritt has a twin brother, Chase.

The brothers, it seems, have a history.

Chase and Merritt were part of the same magic team when they were little kids.

One time, Chase got sick, and Merritt wound up doing it on his own.

Chase always felt slighted by that.

That resentment carries over to the present.

In contrast to the subdued Merritt, playing Chase let Harrelson run wild.

It didnt feel like there was any ceiling.

So what was it like working with Woody Harrelson?

I thought he was real good, Harrelson laughs.

He held his own.

Now You See Me 2opens in theaters June 10.
