That said, given the emphasis on the fact that Ocean’s 8 is very much an all-female reboot of the series, making Member 8 a man seems somewhat less likely, and a potential thematic miscalculation.
Then again, there’s always the possibility that George Clooney’s Danny Ocean (despite the trailer’s suggestion that he has died) may actually be working as a secret eighth member of the group.
This compelling theory about Anne Hathaway’s character is one of the better indications that Ocean’s 8 is switching up the formula by making the heist a direct inside job, but it’s not the only possibility out there.
