A new entry in the Ocean's Eleven universe is in development at Warner Bros. Marketed as a prequel to the George Clooney-led trilogy, the project would bring together Bradley Cooper, Margot Robbie and Omar Sy. Filming is set to take place in Paris in August 2026, with a theatrical release slated for June 23, 2027.
This Paris phase was unveiled by a casting call seeking speaking roles for a one-day shoot scheduled on August 19, 2026 in the capital. No specific location is provided, but the listing signals that the production is moving forward, even as Warner Bros. has yet to officially announce the film or reveal its final title.
The feature film would trace the origins of the Ocean family by recounting how Danny Ocean’s parents met—the burglar played by George Clooney in Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, and Ocean’s Thirteen. This storyline would therefore set the action several years before the heists staged by Steven Soderbergh, without directly reviving the characters from the original trilogy.
Bradley Cooper is lined up for a multi-hyphenate role, set to act, write and direct, following A Star Is Born and Maestro. Margot Robbie would share the screen with him and also take part in the production through her company LuckyChap Entertainment. Their collaboration had already been announced in the early film reports, before Omar Sy was linked to the cast.
The rumored cast would also feature Vicky Krieps, George MacKay, Wagner Moura, Monica Barbaro and Josh Gad. Those appearances, along with Bradley Cooper’s exact roles, still need to be formally confirmed by Warner Bros., as the studio has not yet unveiled the full lineup.
The prequel would extend a franchise launched on the big screen in 2001 with Ocean's Eleven, a remake of the 1960 caper featuring Frank Sinatra. Following the first film's success, two sequels arrived, then the spin-off Ocean's 8, released in 2018 with Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett. The new movie would opt to go back in time this time to explore Danny Ocean's family history.
Set for release in theaters on June 23, 2027, the project still needs to settle its title, official plot, and final cast. The first images and the trailer will in particular show what part Paris will play in this new heist tale.
