It will definitely be iconic if they return. Before this latest update, previously in an interview with Uproxx, Clooney opened up about a new Ocean’s movie. He said,
We have a really good script for another ‘Ocean’s’ now, so we may end up doing another one. It’s actually a great script.

During the conversation, he further added, “The idea is kind of like ‘Going In Style,’” referencing the 1979 movie written and directed by Martin Brest, starring George Burns, Art Carney, and Lee Strasberg.
