Edward Ricourt is an American screenwriter and television producer. He began his career through Marvel Studios' Writing Program, which encouraged him to write a script for Luke Cage, as it was of high interest to the studio. Despite no Luke Cage project being made, Ricourt contributed uncredited script revisions to Thor (2011). However, Ricourt gained significant recognition in theatrical filmmaking as a co-writer of the screenplay and story for the heist thriller Now You See Me (2013), which led to further involvement in the franchise.
