since it comes directly from an actor involved in the film, I'm cautiously optimistic.
in short,
The movie 'Now You See Me' is getting a Sequel, and one of the actors involved, Michael Caine, claims that Daniel will be part of the movie as his character [Arthur Tressler]'s son.
The original movie itself dealt with a group of stage magicians who pull off Bank heists during their magic shows, with some mysterious & mythical assistance.
here's the trailer for the original:

Having seen the movie, it was a very fun, very entretraining action adventure 'cat & mouse style hollywood fanfare' movie that despite it's glaring plotholes was an enjoyable one, and I cant wait for the sequel.
If Radcliffe IS involved, most likely he won't be one of the magicians, but an antagonist to them. nonetheless, it's a nice surprise to see that Radcliffe is willing to be involved [again] in a movie that involves 'magic'.
Here's hoping it happens and not for the last time.
