Damien Lewis (Billions) also has a role in the film – he is expected to be playing the film’s villain. The Homeland actor was also recently spotted on set with the rest of the cast.
Gary Ross is directing Ocean’s Eight for Warner Bros, which is, of course, a spin-off from the George Clooney-led movies that started with Ocean’s Eleven.
The release date for the film has been set for the summer of 2018.
