Warner Bros. is getting ready to make a long-awaited Ocean’s Eleven prequel that will start filming in early 2026. Benicio del Toro is in talks to play a villain in the movie. The movie will be directed by Lee Isaac Chung, who is known for his work on Twisters and Minari. It will star Margot Robbie and Bradley Cooper. The film promises to take viewers into the glamorous and high-stakes world of a European heist in the 1960s.
Carrie Solomon wrote the screenplay, which is a secret, but it is said to have a stylish, old-school caper feel. It is compared to Hitchcock’s classic To Catch a Thief, set against the exciting backdrop of the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix. Cooper and Robbie will play the parents of Danny Ocean and Debbie Ocean. These are two famous characters played by George Clooney and Sandra Bullock in the original series.
Benicio del Toro, who just got a lot of praise for his role in One Battle After Another, is expected to bring his usual intensity to the role of the bad guy. This will be a great addition to the Ocean’s legacy. This exciting prequel is about to reboot and grow the popular franchise. The franchise began with Ocean’s Eleven in 2001 and led to several sequels and a spin-off.
Warner Bros. is excited about a big year, so fans can expect this movie to add a new chapter to the famous heist story. It will mix old-school glamour with new-school star power. Next year’s start of production is a big step toward bringing back one of Hollywood’s most popular crime thrillers.
