Franchises always have delighted audiences, be it ‘Harry Potter’, ‘Fast Furious’, or ‘Marvel’. And the fresh-off rumors are that the ‘Ocean’s Eleven‘ gangs will be back – for a heist or stripping – it’s still under wraps. Acclaimed actor George Clooney recently hinted at a potential sequel.
The 2018 film ‘Ocean’s Eight’ starring Sandra Bullock as Debbie Ocean killed off Danny Ocean as she regularly visits his grave. Although it is impossible to make a sequel with Danny heading the team and as for Debbie, she pounders her brother being in that grave. However, the director of the franchise has not confirmed Danny’s death yet, instead, Steven Soderbergh hinted toward a spicy crossover.

Saucy Crossover: George Clooney’s ‘Ocean’s Eleven‘ And Channing Tatum’s ‘Magic Mike’
During the 2023 TMC Classic Films Festivals, George Clooney, the star of ‘Ocean’s Eleven‘ joked about a possible idea for another sequel with a spicy crossover with ‘Magic Mike‘ which was also directed by Steven Soderbergh. TMC asked both Soderbergh and Clooney about the possibility of revisiting ‘Ocean’s Eleven‘ character, 15 years after the release of the third film, ‘Ocean’s Thirteen‘. To this, Clooney responded that they killed off his character, but it wouldn’t be the first time a famous character mysteriously reappears from death.
George Clooney went ahead and teased Steven Soderbergh for his 2023 film ‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance‘. Clooney went ahead suggesting that the two movies should merge, with a possible title ‘Ocean’s Mike‘. Considering both ‘Ocean’s Eleven‘ and ‘Magic Mike‘ were directed by Steven Soderbergh, the crossover between a new heist and a spice element of a strip club would absolutely make sense. And if the crossover happens, then it would be one of the best comedy flicks of all time.

What Is ‘Magic Mike’ All About?
‘Magic Mike‘ directed by Steven Soderbergh is inspired by Channing Tatum’s venture as a male stripper in Florida since the age of 18. Tatum wanted to capture the atmosphere and energy of his past as a male stripper, but since the film is fictional it gave the directors the freedom to create their own storyline. After the huge success of the first film, Soderbergh went ahead to create a sequel, ‘Magic Mike XXL’.
‘Magic Mike: The Last Dance’ was released in February 2023, hinting it might be the last Magic Mike film starring Salma Hayek. It focuses on the titular character Mike choreographing a strip show in a historic London theatre at the command of his lover-slash-boss, Max. Mike decides to leave Florida behind and head across the states to put on one last unforgettable show. It is steamy and bold but at the same time, it is hilarious and bland with tasteless dialogue.
