Matt Damonwon’t totally shoot down a return to theOcean’sfranchise.
Apparently, a reboot is all up to franchise director Steven Soderbergh.
“It would always be up to Steven Soderbergh if there was a story,” Damon, 50, said. “We have lost a couple of our members, so we would have to figure it out, we are a depleted gang now.”
Damon referenced costars Bernie Mac and Carl Reiner, who have since died. The last movie to star the original cast,Ocean’s 13, hit theaters in 2007. (Soderbergh produced the 2018 spinoffOcean’s 8, starring Sandra Bullock as the sister of George Clooney’s Danny Ocean.)
Last month, Cheadle revealed talk of a fourth movie had started before Mac’s sudden death in 2008. The actor died of cardiac arrest and complications of pneumonia stemming from his longtime struggle with sarcoidosis, a disease that causes tissue inflammation that often attacked his lungs.
“We were talking about it, and then Bernie passed, and very quickly we were like, ‘No, we don’t want to do it,'” CheadletoldEntertainment Weeklyof anOcean’s 14.

But it seems as if things have recently changed for Soderbergh, 58.
“I just did a movie with Steven and he said, ‘I think there may be a way to do it again. I’m thinking about it,’ " Cheadle, 56, recalled. “And it didn’t go much further than that. But I don’t know; I don’t know who all would be in it. I imagine the main group of us would be in. It would be interesting to see.”
Pittjokingly shot down returning to the seriesduring an awards acceptance speech in early 2020.
While accepting his award for best supporting actor forOnce Upon A Time… In Hollywoodat the National Board of Review Awards, Pitt enlightened the audience with a list of his personal life goals moving forward.
The actor, 57, shared that his “goals in life now are pretty simple” as he listed standard aspirations like “to be happy” and “stay healthy.”
In listing his final goal, however, Pitt joked he hopes to stay clear of “a financial situation where I have to doOcean’s 14.”
“We’ll see,” he quipped.
