History WMG / OceansEight

If we assume the charactes are the same ages as their actors, both Bullock and Clooney were born after the original film, meaning that Debbie and Danny would have been born when Danny sr. was in his late 40s. They could have grown up hearing how the original heist succeeded and then went wrong, leading to them deciding to pull of their own capers.

[[WMG: Danny really isn't dead; he's just faking his death as a part of an elaborate con]]

** She ''really doesn't know if he's dead or not''. The ambiguity lends credence to the possibility that he has indeed faked his own is death.

[[WMG: Danny faked his death to avoid being killed by Terry Benedict and/or Willy Bank.]]
* Benedict wouldn't have much reasons to kill Danny unless he pulled yet another heist against him. Bank however was shown to be almost ready to throw Reuben from the top of a building, so there's that.

* Her knowing something is {{jossed}}: She says during her first visit to his grave "it'd better be you in there," implying A: it's not the first time he's done something like this, and B: she really doesn't know if he's dead or not. Though the fact that it's ambiguous does lend credence to the possibility that his death is a con as well.

[[WMG: Debbie and Danny are the children of the original Danny Ocean in the 1960 film.]]

His lawyer will point out that he was set up by Debbie. Once he's free, he'll threaten to kill her unless she steals a lot of money for him. Just to make Ocean's Nine similar to Ocean's Twelve.

Here's hoping that the studio, director and cast have taken note of how popular the ship is in the fanbase and will can the AmbiguouslyBi / AmbiguouslyGay crap for good in the potential sequel and make them an official item.

* Tess Ocean, trying to either avenge Danny or help him keep his cover.

* Turns out she only has a very quick cameo and barely talks.

She'll learn that her brother was killed by Terry Benedict or Willy Bank and will plot a revenge. There are at least two twist possibilities.
* The other villain was the real killer and framed the other. Debbie had already figured it out.

* Turns out she only has a very quick cameo and barely talks.

She will likely play a similar role like Topher Grace and the other celebrities that Rusty played poker with. Same with Katie Holmes.

Debbie doesn't seem too bereaved by her brother's passing even flippantly drinking a martini, suggesting she knows something

* She will likely play a similar role like Topher Grace and the other celebrities that Rusty played poker with.

Debbie can't kill them, but she can certainly humiliate and ruin them like how Danny did to Bank at the end of ''Thirteen''. Plus the trailers make it clear that Debbie is running a con within the con from the start.
