Actor Jesse Eisenberg is all praise for his "Now You See Me 2" co-star Daniel Radcliffe, saying he is "wonderful" in the film.

Directed by Jon M. Chu, "Now You See Me 2", a sequel to the 2013 film "Now You See Me", also stars Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Lizzy Caplan and Morgan Freeman among others.

"I think people are going to be really surprised by how wonderful Daniel is in the movie, not because they don't know that he is wonderful, but because the character is so different," Eisenberg said in a statement.

"He really plays that guy who is this kind of conniving and also a charming villain. He is a guy who seems to love himself, but in private is insecure and angry," he added.
