The Ocean’s franchise is preparing for its first major sequel since Ocean’s 13 in 2007, with David Leitch, director of John Wick and Bullet Train, in talks to helm the project. The film is expected to see George Clooney reprise his role as Danny Ocean, alongside Brad Pitt as Rusty Ryan. Clooney’s Smokehouse Pictures is producing the film under Warner Bros., and other returning cast members may include Matt Damon and Casey Affleck.
This marks the first mainline Ocean’s film not directed by Steven Soderbergh, adding intrigue as Leitch’s action-focused style brings a fresh energy to the beloved heist saga. The original trilogy grossed over $420 million domestically and remains a fan favorite.
Meanwhile, a prequel set in 1960s Europe is also in development, starring Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie, directed by Jay Roach. While separate from the Clooney-Pitt sequel, it highlights the franchise's enduring appeal.
With Leitch's dynamic direction and the return of its iconic stars, this new Ocean’s promises a stylish, action-packed continuation of the classic series. Fans can expect high-stakes heists and star power to steal the show once again.
