Today, a new report reveals that Warner Brothers is considering Bradley Cooper to star opposite Margot Robbie in their long-in-development Ocean’s 11 prequel. The studio is looking at Cooper to write, direct, and star, but he has yet to sign on officially. The movie was originally going to star Robbie alongside Ryan Gosling after their success with Barbie, but he never signed on. Recently, director Lee Isaac Chung (Twisters) exited the project over creative differences (via Variety). The studio is also hard at work developing Ocean’s 14 with Brad Pitt and George Clooney returning. Production on the prequel is slated for later this year.
The Ocean’s 11 prequel has no set release date
Fun news: Bradley Cooper is now the choice to write and direct the Ocean's 11 prequel for WB. (Lee Isaac Chung recently dropped out.) Cooper would also star with Margot Robbie. No deals yet, but goal is to shoot this year.
