It has been years since we last saw the heist-happy crew of the ‘Ocean’s’ movies. There has been chatter about an ‘Ocean’s 14’ in recent years, and things are clearly moving forward. ‘The Fall Guy’s David Leitch was reported as in talks to direct in January, and now, per star/producer George Clooney says that it’s looking good for production in 2026.
This is what Clooney told E! News about the new development:
“We just got the budget approved at Warner Bros. and we’re trying to set up. It’s just scheduling, so it’s just setting a start date for us. Probably start in about nine or 10 months, shooting.”

The original ‘Ocean’s’ trilogy, directed by Steven Soderbergh, launched in 2001 with ‘Ocean’s Eleven,’ a critical favorite and a commercial hit with just over $450 million at the worldwide box office.
The franchise continued with 2004’s ‘Ocean’s Twelve’ ($362 million) and 2007’s ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’ ($311 million).
A spinoff, 2018’s 'Ocean’s 8,' starred Sandra Bullock as the sister of Clooney’s Danny Ocean. The movie hit the $297 million mark worldwide.
As for the new movie, Clooney has previously described the tone of the movie as akin to Martin Brest’s 1979 heist comedy ‘Going in Style’.

In terms of who from the sprawling ‘Ocean’s ensemble might be back, let’s throw it back to Clooney, shall we?
“Yeah, Brad [Pitt], Matt [Damon], Don [Cheadle] and Julia [Roberts]. I had dinner last night with Julia. They’re all still really dear friends. And so, the chance to work together would be fun.”
