Clooney Reunites Core 'Ocean's' Stars for New Sequel Targeting 2026 Shoot

Clooney says Warner Bros. approved the budget, with an older, craftier caper shaping the film’s direction.

Overview

  • George Clooney says Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts and Don Cheadle are set to return for the next Ocean’s installment.
  • Location scouting is underway, with the team aiming to begin filming in October 2026.
  • The story will lean into an aging-heist concept inspired by the 1979 film Going in Style.
  • Clooney says the budget is in place at Warner Bros., with scheduling now the primary hurdle before production begins.
  • No director is confirmed, with reports indicating Steven Soderbergh is unlikely to return as other names circulate in talks, and a separate prequel led by Margot Robbie continues to develop.
