Margot Robbie's Ocean's Eleven prequel is still happening - and it's stealing even more Oscar nominees
So far, all three of the known cast of the Ocean's 11 prequel movie have at least been nominated for an Oscar, which is pretty impressive

When we found out that Margo Robbie was going to be in a new Ocean’s 11 prequel movie, we were plenty excited. Then Bradley Cooper signed on to direct and potentially star in the film, and we got a slightly better idea of what the movie might be like. Now it seems that the still untitled Ocean’s prequel film is really real, as Civil War and Narcos star Wagner Moura is reportedly in negotiations to join the cast.
Getting more information about the Ocean’s 11 prequel film has been harder than breaking into a Las Vegas casino. We know that Margot Robbie will star as well as produce the movie, which she recently described at CinemaCon 2026 as focusing on the parents of George Clooney’s Danny Ocean “pulling off an epic heist at the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix.”
We don’t yet know who Wagner Moura will play in the Ocean’s 11 prequel, though there are reports that he'll be playing the villain in the movie. He is probably best known for portraying cartel boss Pablo Escobar in Narcos and for his Oscar-nominated performance in 2025’s The Secret Agent. However, he is currently the third member of the cast who has either been nominated for a best-acting Oscar or won it, which probably wouldn’t be a big deal if the cast had more than three people in it at the moment.
As of right now, the Ocean’s 11 prequel starring Margot Robbie, Bradley Cooper, and, now, Wagner Moura is still set to be released on June 25, 2027. How many Oscar nominees can the production add to the cast between now and then?
