Margot Robbie and Bradley Cooper have begun filming the untitled Ocean’s Eleven prequel in Paris, giving the first real look at the actors in the long-awaited addition to the heist franchise.

Cooper is taking on multiple roles behind and in front of the camera. He is writing, directing and starring in the film as Danny Ocean’s father, and was photographed behind the cameras. He joined the project after filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung stepped down earlier this year. Cooper was photographed on set wearing a headset, while Barbaro was seen having her hair adjusted by a member of the production crew and wearing a blue-and-white costume.
Robbie and Cooper are set to play Danny Ocean’s parents in the prequel. The story is set in the 1960s and follows Danny’s parents as they plan an elaborate heist at the Monaco Grand Prix. Robbie previously described the characters at CinemaCon as two masterminds who taught Danny everything he knows before he ever arrived in Las Vegas.

The project has been developing for several years. The film was first reported in 2022, when Robbie was attached to star and develop an original Ocean’s film set in the 1960s. Ryan Gosling was previously attached to the project before Cooper took over his role.
The current cast extends well beyond its two leads. Monica Barbaro joined the film in June, followed by Josh Gad in July. Vicky Krieps, George MacKay, Lauren Ridloff, Jack Holden and Omar Sy have also joined the cast, along with Wagner Moura. Moura will play a villain in the film.

Robbie is also producing the movie with her husband, Tom Ackerley, through their production company LuckyChap Entertainment. Behind the scenes, Michelle Graham, Gary Ross, Olivia Milch and Josey McNamara are executive producing, alongside Village Roadshow. The screenplay is written by Carrie Solomon, whose previous writing credits include the Netflix film A Family Affair, starring Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron.
The prequel is also being developed alongside a separate Ocean’s sequel involving George Clooney and members of the original cast, with production previously reported to be planned for late 2026.
