in Ocean's 8, Qin Shaobo reprises his role from previous films of the franchise. but in having him, the producers missed a great opportunity to keep it an "all-female crew": there are a great many female gymnasts, acrobats, and contortionists who could have performed that (small) role, probably more available than male. some of them (e.g., Olympic gymnasts, Youtube stars) are even celebrities, if they wanted to follow the movie's theme of celebrity cameos all over the place.

Well, they needed a connection/tie-in to the male lead movies. And I guess the gymnast was the best way to do it without overshadowing the female leads.
