George Clooney Dishes on Upcoming ‘Oceans’ Movie & Returning Cast Members

Hollywood stalwart George Clooney has revealed some details of an upcoming “Oceans” movie. As well as providing some information about the film, he also named some of the returning cast who have signed up to reprise their roles. The last entry in the franchise to feature Clooney came in 2007 in the form of “Ocean’s Thirteen.”

George Clooney Lifts Lid on Upcoming ‘Oceans’ Movie

Speaking in an expansive interview about his life and future projects with Variety, Clooney offered an insight into what fans of the heist franchise can expect from the new film.

Rather than focusing on just seeing the old crew reunited to play on the audience’s sense of nostalgia, Clooney wants the movie to venture into something new. Specifically, he pointed to a desire to see how the team would pull off a heist now that they are older and don’t have the same abilities and physicality as they did when they were younger. 

According to Clooney, the upcoming film has been partially inspired by the 1970s comedy “Going in Style” — which inspired the 2017 remake that features Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Alan Arkin — about a group of older criminals.

“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 away with something, that just appeals to me,” Clooney explained. “They’ve lost a step, and they need to find a way to work around their limitations.”

While filming has yet to start on the project, Clooney did reveal that they are currently scouting locations for the shoot and that production should begin in October 2026. He also confirmed that he has managed to persuade Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, and Don Cheadle to sign up for the movie.

In late 2025, Clooney responded to reports that he was set to retire from acting. The fact he has spoken about plans for “Ocean’s 14” suggests he has no plans to stop working any time soon but the actor also confirmed that this isn’t something he has thought about at all.

“If you give up working,” Clooney said in an interview with USA Today. “You lose your place in society.”

“There’s going to be parts for ‘Grandpa gums bread,’ and I’ll be the perfect guy for it,” he joked. “That’s a good thing about the profession that I’ve chosen.”
