Like Don Cheadle and Bernie Mac, prolific film star Matt Damon has been a staple of the "Ocean's" franchise since the original "Ocean's 11" hit theaters back in 2001. Damon plays the accomplished thief and master pickpocket Linus Caldwell, son of the famous con man Bobby Caldwell and a fresh face in Danny Ocean's crew who's hired in the first film.
Linus is an essential member of the "Ocean's" team who frequently finds himself at the center of the group's elaborate heists, and if "Ocean's Fourteen" does happen, it wouldn't feel complete without Linus. Thankfully, Damon himself has been very clear about his desire to see the "Ocean's" franchise return, giving plenty of fans hope for "Ocean's Fourteen." "That's been my standing position since we wrapped 'Ocean's Thirteen,' since the day we wrapped it, I'm ready to work on 'Ocean's Fourteen," Damon said during an interview on SiriusXM. "It's always been about how would it look, you know, we've lost two members of our gang, you know, Bernie [Mac] and Carl [Reiner] and, uh, and so what, what would that movie look like?"
While Damon's enthusiasm for the franchise certainly ought to catch the attention of "Ocean's" fans waiting for this possible sequel, it's important to remember that he won't be the one at the helm of "Ocean's Fourteen." In a separate interview with People, Damon put the possibility of another "Ocean's” film firmly in the hands of Steven Soderbergh, saying that it's ultimately up to the director to decide if the film gets made.
