It's actually Thaddeus Bradley that correctly guesses how Wilder faked his death, suggesting that the Horsemen used a decoy vehicle and a stolen cadaver from the morgue to convince the FBI that Wilder had died. Jack faked his death so that he could work from the shadows in the final step of Rhodes' plan.

Dylan, who was twelve at the time, blamed Thaddeus, Elkhorn, Republican credit and Arthur Tressler and sought revenge for both his fathers death and his mothers suffering...
Fisher's absence in Now You See Me 2 was due to her pregnancy conflicting with the filming schedule. Lizzy Caplan was cast as a new character to fill in for Fisher's character, Henley. Despite missing the sequel, fans speculate on Fisher's return for Now You See Me 3, as the franchise moves forward with a new film.
Although Now You See Me 3 was announced all the way back in 2015, the threequel has been making notable progress over the last several years, particularly with the hiring of Ruben Fleischer as director in 2022.

He was the one that recruited the Horsemen to execute this complex plan, with everything serving as revenge for his father's death.
Bringing back Isla Fisher for Now You See Me 3 fixes a mistake made by replacing her in the second film. The new installment will combine original cast members with a younger generation of magicians. Isla Fisher's return as Henley Reeves could be explained by Dylan reaching out to her after she left the group.
