Margot Robbie’s Ocean’s Eleven Prequel Replaces Ryan Gosling With A-List Star

A frequent Oscar nominee has joined the cast of the upcoming Ocean’s Eleven prequel movie.

Twisters’ Lee Isaac Chung has been tapped to direct a movie that will serve as a prequel to Ocean’s Eleven. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, Ocean’s Eleven, which is a remake of a 1960s film, was released in 2001 and stars George Clooney as Danny Ocean, Brad Pitt as Rusty, Matt Damon as Linus Caldwell, Julia Roberts as Tess Ocean, and Andy García as Terry Benedict.

Who has joined the cast of the Ocean’s Eleven prequel?

While it was previously known that Barbie’s Margot Robbie would be starring in the Ocean’s Eleven prequel, Deadline is now reporting that Bradley Cooper will also have a major role in the film.  Per The Hollywood Reporter, there was a period of time when Ryan Gosling was supposed to star in the movie alongside Robbie, though he has now seemingly been replaced by Cooper.

Cooper’s deal is not officially closed as of yet; however, “Cooper has been close with Robbie over the years and always wanted to work together, and this seemed the perfect opportunity, and after a meeting with Chung, Cooper was on board.”

Official lot details are being kept under wraps at this time.

Having made his Hollywood screen debut in 2001’s Wet Hot American Summer, Cooper is known for voicing Rocket Raccoon in the MCU and for starring in movies such as 2009’s The Hangover, 2011’s Limitless, 2021’s Nightmare Alley, and more. He has been nominated for a number of different Oscars throughout his lifetime — not just for acting, but also for directing, writing, and producing. Following 2018’s A Star Is Born and 2023’s Maestro, Cooper’s next directorial effort is Is This Thing On?, which will be released this coming December.

Robbie’s LuckyChap production company will produce the Ocean’s Eleven prequel movie. A release date has not yet been set by Warner Bros. Pictures, though production on the project is expected to start next year.
