George Clooney plans to reunite the original cast of Ocean’s Eleven for a new sequel that will explore high-risk crime later in life.
More than two decades after Ocean’s Eleven first dazzled audiences with its epic heists and star-studded crew, the iconic franchise looks set for a new comeback. George Clooney has revealed plans to re-unite the original cast including Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts and Don Cheadle for a new sequel, which explores what happens when the legendary gang tackles high-stakes crime later in life. Rather than a simple nostalgia trip, the film aims to blend humor, clever plotting, and the challenges of aging, giving fans a chance to see their favorite characters in a whole new light.
Original cast set to return for new Ocean’s Eleven movie
in an interview with DiversityClooney revealed that he is developing a new Ocean’s Eleven sequel and has already reached out to members of the original cast. However, this time the film will not rely entirely on nostalgia. Instead, Clooney wants to explore what it means to pull off a high-stakes heist when the characters are no longer young and agile. The idea was inspired by Going in Style, a 1970s comedy about elderly criminals attempting one last job.
According to reports, Clooney has assembled a cast that includes Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, and Don Cheadle, with the story focusing on an older, wiser version of the famous crew. Locations are currently being scouted and the team hopes to begin production in October 2026.
Clooney said, “There was something about the idea that we’re too old to do what we used to do, but we’re still smart enough to know how to get rid of something.” He also said that the characters have “lost a step” and have to find clever ways to work around their limitations.
Clooney’s latest work
George Clooney will next be seen in In Love, a low-budget drama in which he will star opposite Annette Bening, who will play a man suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
