Margot Robbie Confirms ‘Ocean’s’ Prequel in the Works – Exclusive Details Inside!
The ‘Ocean’s’ franchise has been one of the most popular and successful movie series in recent years. The first film, ‘Ocean’s Eleven’, was released in 2001, followed by ‘Ocean’s Twelve’ in 2004 and ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’ in 2007. In 2018, ‘Ocean’s Eight’ made waves with an all-female cast led by Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, and Anne Hathaway.
Fans of the franchise were thrilled when news broke that a prequel to the series was in the works. And now, we have confirmation from none other than Margot Robbie, who is set to star in the upcoming film.
In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly, Robbie revealed some exciting details about the ‘Ocean’s’ prequel. The project is titled ‘Alice’, and it will serve as a prequel to the entire franchise, exploring the origins of the heist and con artist world that we’ve come to love. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming movie.
The Storyline
While details about the plot are still under wraps, Robbie did give some insights into the overall storyline. She described the film as a “female-driven heist story” and explained that it would follow a young version of her character, Alice, as she navigates the criminal world.
Robbie also mentioned that the movie would be set in a different time period, offering a fresh take on the ‘Ocean’s’ universe. She said, “It’s not necessarily a flashback, but it’s a story that takes place before the other ‘Oceans’ movies.”
