The original Ocean’s Eleven, released in 2001, starred George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts and several other major stars. The film became a major success and was followed by Ocean’s Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen. The franchise later expanded with the 2018 spin off Ocean’s 8, which featured Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Paulson, Rihanna and Helena Bonham Carter.
The new prequel is expected to offer something different while still carrying the stylish crime and heist elements that made the franchise popular. Cooper and Barbaro are at the centre of the new project, although their exact characters and the full details of the plot have not been revealed.
