Andy Garcia Reveals He Will Be Returning to Play Terry Benedict in the Upcoming Sequel OCEAN'S 14
Ocean’s franchise actor Andy Garcia has revealed that he will be returning for the upcoming sequel Ocean’s 14, where he will reprise the role of Terry Benedict.
In the first films, the casino owner was Danny Ocean’s biggest nemesis, first marrying Ocean’s ex-wife Tess (Julia Roberts), then attempting to thwart Danny’s heist plans at every turn. This time around, will he finally stop the Ocean’s crew, or will he be the 14th member of the crew?
During a Monday conversation with The Wrap, Garcia announced his return and shared that the sequel was originally set to film in January 2026 before getting bumped to avoid scheduling conflicts. Plot details on the film remain scarce, but we know that director Steven Soderbergh is set to return.
Two years ago, Clooney was the first to divulge news of Ocean's 14 and has continued teasing the project in recent months, telling fans that the project has a "great script" in the works and plans to begin filming next year.
"We just got the budget approved at Warner Bros. and we're trying to set up," Clooney told E! News in October. "It's just scheduling, so it's just setting a start date for us. Probably start in about nine or 10 months, shooting."
Other than Garcia's recent announcement, there's no official word regarding who, besides Clooney, will return for the Ocean's sequel.
But when asked if he is excited to reunite with his onscreen right-hand man, Brad Pitt, again, Clooney answered that he was, as well as costars Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, and Julia Roberts. "They're all still really dear friends, so the chance to work together would be fun," Clooney said.
