David Leitch in Talks to Direct ‘Ocean’s 14’ with Pitt and Clooney Reportedly Returning

by

Previously in September, Deadline hinted that director Edward Berger could potentially direct ‘Ocean’s 14’. However, it wasn’t set in stone at the time, and now it appears that Berger will no longer be involved with the project.

However, there’s no need for concern—there’s encouraging news ahead! According to Deadline, David Leitch, a key figure behind John Wick and the director of The Fall Guy, is reportedly in preliminary discussions to step into the role, as reported by InSneider.

Should the plans come together, Leitch is likely to be the one taking charge of an “Ocean’s” sequel not overseen by Steven Soderbergh. The exciting aspect? George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and many members of Danny Ocean’s team are rumored to reassemble for a final caper.

George Clooney himself has confirmed that the script for an upcoming project is complete, as he shared during an interview with Uproxx. Although specifics about the plot are being kept secret, Clooney hinted that the film could embody the spirit of “Going in Style,” a 2017 movie centering around elderly individuals executing a major heist.

Simultaneously, another Ocean’s film is being planned. Apparently, Jay Roach is still crafting a prequel set in the 1960s featuring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. The progress on this movie isn’t clear, but for now, Leitch’s possible Ocean’s 14 appears to be grabbing all the attention.

It’s tough to predict if both movies will be released, but here’s a fun scenario: We’re already brainstorming ways to crash the premiere once it’s time! Who among us is game to drive the escape vehicle?
