George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon could be joining forces once again for a new Ocean’s movie.

The group previously appeared together in the 2007 hit Ocean’s Thirteen and there are rumours they could be reuniting for another installment of the franchise.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Rumours of a film starring George, Brad and Matt have swirled for years but the timing was off and their jam-packed schedules meant that it was just not possible.

"Finally the right team for the job has come together in a bid to make it a huge success and the main stars thought it would be good fun to revisit.

"The franchise is hugely popular and the brilliant storyline was an opportunity that was too good to miss."

Damon has said in the past that he would be up for starring in another Ocean’s movie, but on the condition that director Steven Soderbergh would be at the helm.

The actor, who played Linus Caldwell in the movie, said: "It would always be up to Steven Soderbergh if there was a story."

He also referenced the passing of his late co-stars Bernie Mac and Carl Reiner, who died in 2008 and 2020, respectively.

Damon added: "We have lost a couple of our members, so we would have to figure it out - we are a depleted gang now."

In the meantime, Clooney is starring alongside another Ocean’s star, Julia Roberts, in the new rom-com Ticket to Paradise.

Both stars spoke to virginradio.co.uk on the red carpet at the UK premiere of the movie and Clooney joked he had to “show” Roberts the ropes on being in a romantic comedy.

George explained: “It was fun. We had a really good time. You know, I'm sort of known for my rom-com stuff. I had to work with Julia a little bit. Show her the way.”

In response, Julia added: “He's very patient with me figuring out how to be funny.”

Ticket to Paradise is out in cinemas on 20th September.
