From Huffington Post:

Morgan Freeman’s TV series sees him investigating the unexplained secrets of the cosmos; for his next film, he may be exposing the fraudulent illusions of our terrestrial bounds.

The host of the investigative series “Through The Wormhole” on the cable network Science, is according to Variety in talks to join the cast of “Now You See Me,” the story of a battle between the FBI and a band of expert magicians who rob banks during their performances. The Oscar-winner would play Thaddeus, an ex-magician who outs the secrets of illusionists — and is thus hated by the magic community.

Presumably, he’s nothing like Will Arnett’s GOB character in “Arrested Development.”
