George Clooney may be about to play a fictitious movie star contemplating his legacy in Noah Baumbach's Jay Kelly, but don't let that distract you from the fact that George Clooney is still very much a real movie star in our world. As such, when the two-time Oscar winner tells us a long-awaited movie of his is ready to shoot, we sit up and listen. And that's exactly what happened when Clooney took to the New York Film Festival red carpet last night and told E! News that heist sequel Ocean's 14 will shoot in 2026 — and that he's already looking forward to reuniting with Ocean's OGs Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, and Don Cheadle on the film. Check out the clip below;
When quizzed on the status of the long-gestating Ocean's 14 by E!, Clooney — whose suave crook Danny Ocean was last seen on-screen in 2007's Ocean's Thirteen — replied: "“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.” And when asked if he'd be bringing his partners in crime back for one last job, Clooney was similarly candid, offering, "Yeah, Brad [Pitt], Matt [Damon] and 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."

Now, at this point, nothing official has come from Warner Bros. to confirm the studio's plans for Ocean's 14 or indeed who may return for the film, the franchise's first entry since all-women spin-off Ocean's 8 back in 2018 — so take everything Clooney says with at least a grain or two of salt. But with David Leitch reportedly ready to take up the directorial hotseat from Steven Soderbergh, and Clooney ready to go all-in with his movie star pals on a Going In Style-esque ageing heist caper, Danny Ocean and the gang won't need any elaborate schemes to take our money here: we are already seated.
