She's been busy showcasing her incredible bikini body in Miami while filming scenes for her latest movie project for the past few weeks.

But new shots from upcoming film Now You See Me show Isla Fisher pushing her body to the limit as she shot terrifying stunts for the thriller, which saw her immersed and chained underwater, seemingly with no way to escape.

Grimacing up her face in horror, the 37-year-old actress showed off her daredevil side as she got to work on set.

Surrounded by crew members, there's no doubt that the mother-of-two was in safe hands as she shot the daring scenes in an indoor water tank.

In spite of the terrifying nature of the stunt, the Australian star still managed to look incredible as she showed off her slim figure in a skimpy black one-piece, while her long auburn locks flowed dramatically around her head.

Directed by Louis Leterrier, Now You See Me tells the tale of a talented team of illusionists, who pull off bank heists during their performances and then reward their audiences with the money they have stolen. Lounging around: Isla Fisher smirked while filming on set in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday

Morgan Freeman, Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo and Michael Caine also have starring roles in the movie.

Last month, Isla - who is married to actor and comedian Sacha Baron Cohen - was seen filming an as yet-untitled movie in Miami, where she was spotted flailing around in the water for the cameras.

The star certainly put on a convincing show as she flung her arms around, splashing in the water and feigning distress before being hoisted to safety onto the deck of a boat.

After spending time in the water, her white bikini had gone slightly see-through and the two piece showed more than she would have liked of her slim shape.

Before taking a dip, Isla looked calm and collected wrapped up in a fluffy white robe.

Her signature red locks have taken on a darker shade for her role in the movie, but away from the water and lounging stomach-down on a poolside chair, Isla took on a different look.

A floral, long-sleeved blouse complemented her bubble gum pink lips and rosy, contoured cheeks.

The usually natural-looking wife of Sacha Baron-Cohen wore a swipe of cat-eye liner and defined, darker brows as she enjoyed herself on set.

Isla recently admitted she prefers to star in ensemble pieces and selects roles with consideration to her parental responsibilities for the sake of daughters, Olive, five, and Elula, two.

She told C magazine: 'It's all about location because of the kids. Then it boils down to the filmmaker and the role and the cast. It's definitely different than it used to be. Location wasn't even a consideration, unless it was Syria or somewhere.

'I breastfed both my kids for two years so, you know it was very tiring emotionally and physically. I'm not sure I'd want to do another lead at this juncture in my life. It's why ensemble pieces are so attractive to me.'

Though she’s still in the midst of filming, Isla will be gearing up for a busy spring.

The actress plays the role of Myrtle Wilson, the mistress of Tom Buchanan, in Baz Luhrmann’s remake of The Great Gatsby, set to hit theatres on May 10.

Now You See Me premieres in theatres on March 15.
