It looks like “Ocean’s 14” might have found its antagonist. Andy Garcia is telling The Wrap that he’ll reprise his role as Terry Benedict in the upcoming sequel. Garcia’s Benedict appeared in the first three instalments.
Garcia adds that filming was originally slated for January 2026 but has since been pushed back due to scheduling conflicts. Brad Pitt, who’s set to return in “Ocean’s 14,” is currently shooting David Fincher’s “The Adventures of Cliff Booth,” which may have caused the production delays.
George Clooney, who produces and stars in the series, recently told E! News that the old crew is eager to reunite: “Brad [Pitt], Matt [Damon], Don [Cheadle], and Julia [Roberts]… I had dinner last night with Julia. They’re all still really dear friends. So, the chance to work together would be fun.”
David Leitch (“The Fall Guy,” “Bullet Train”) is on board to direct “Ocean’s 14,” marking the first time someone other than Steven Soderbergh will helm an entry in the franchise. Soderbergh recently told TheWrap that he’s officially done with the saga: “I made it clear to everybody that, you know, go with God. I did what I could.”
The prime catalyst for Netflix's risk-free shift may have been new content chief Dan Lin, who said two years ago that the company would greenlight films "more about audience, and less about auteurs."
