It’s a good time to be a fan of the Ocean’s heist franchise. Not only did George Clooney recently share that the budget for Ocean’s 14 has been approved, the Ocean’s Eleven prequel that was revealed in May 2022 remains in active development. Originally the plan was for Barbie duo Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling to reunite for the prequel, but it sounds like Gosling is no longer attached. Instead, another Hollywood A-lister is being lined up to work with Robbie for the first time.
Bradley Cooper is reportedly in negotiations to co-star in the still-untitled Ocean’s prequel alongside Robbie. According to Deadline, he’s been “close” with the actress for years and they’ve “always wanted to work together.” After meeting with the director, Twisters’ Lee Chung, Cooper was game to come aboard.
