\n\t\t\t\t\tMonica Barbaro has boarded the Ocean\u2019s Eleven prequel led by Margot Robbie and Bradley Cooper, with Cooper also set to direct. The story unfolds around the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix and follows the parents of Danny and Debbie Ocean, with the film currently slated for a June 23, 2027 release.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Ocean\u2019s crew is heading back to the Riviera, with a prequel set against the glamour and chaos of the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix. Margot Robbie and Bradley Cooper are anchoring the project, and Monica Barbaro is the latest name added to the call sheet. The story shifts the spotlight to the parents of Danny and Debbie Ocean, swapping Vegas neon for South of France intrigue. With Cooper now directing after earlier talks with other filmmakers, the long running franchise is betting on a fresh angle without losing its taste for slick misdirection.<\/p>\n
A new chapter in the Ocean\u2019s saga<\/p>\n
The Ocean\u2019s crew has always thrived on cool timing and familiar faces, so it feels fitting that the franchise is turning back the clock. A prequel is now taking shape, with Margot Robbie and Bradley Cooper attached to lead it. The premise is simple and tempting: a story centered on the parents of Danny and Debbie Ocean, set long before the casinos of Las Vegas became their playground.<\/p>\n
For longtime fans, it is also a reminder that this series rarely stays quiet for long. One project tends to pull another behind it, and the studio knows the appeal of a heist that comes preloaded with history.<\/p>\n
Monica Barbaro steps into the mix<\/p>\n
According to Deadline, Monica Barbaro has joined the cast, a move that suggests the ensemble is still expanding in meaningful ways. US audiences will recognize her from \u201cTop Gun: Maverick,\u201d and from the action-comedy series \u201cFUBAR,\u201d which streams on Netflix in the United States.<\/p>\n
Her recent run has been busy in a very Ocean\u2019s-like way, hopping between big studio titles and sleek crime stories. She also appeared in \u201cCrime 101,\u201d available in the US on Prime Video, which makes her a natural fit for a film built around misdirection and nerve.<\/p>\n
A 1962 setting, and a director\u2019s chair reshuffled<\/p>\n
The prequel is set during the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix, a backdrop that practically writes its own wardrobe and tension. The plot details are being kept under wraps, but the framework points to a major robbery planned amid the racing spectacle, with Robbie and Cooper positioned as the central couple.<\/p>\n
Behind the camera, the project has already taken a few turns. After earlier director attachments reportedly shifted over time, Cooper is now set to direct while also starring, giving the film a single guiding hand, at least on paper.<\/p>\n
Release plans, plus another Ocean\u2019s on the horizon<\/p>\n
For US readers marking calendars, the prequel is currently dated for theatrical release on June 23, 2027. That places it squarely in the summer corridor where studios like to bet big on recognizable brands and global-scale moviegoing.<\/p>\n
And yes, there is more: Warner Bros. also has \u201cOcean\u2019s Fourteen\u201d in active development. The franchise has never been shy about returning to its favorites, so the next few years may answer one question fans keep circling back to: how many Ocean\u2019s stories can still feel like a fresh score?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Monica Barbaro has boarded the Ocean\u2019s Eleven prequel led by Margot Robbie and Bradley Cooper, with Cooper also…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21913,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,146,85,46],"class_list":["post-528129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=528129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528129\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=528129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=528129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=528129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
