Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Wednesday that Oscar‑nominated actor Wagner Moura is in negotiations to play the antagonist opposite Margot Robbie and Bradley Cooper.
- Bradley Cooper wrote the latest script and will direct, star as one of Danny Ocean’s parents, and produce the film while Robbie will produce through LuckyChap and co‑star.
- The story is set at the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix and follows the parents of Danny Ocean pulling off a major heist, a period shift from the franchise’s Las Vegas focus.
- The production is expected to begin shooting in late July in Paris before moving to the south of France, and Warner Bros. has scheduled a June 25, 2027 theatrical release.
- Moura’s reported casting adds prestige to a project that has seen earlier script drafts by Carrie Solomon and a prior director exit, and it could boost the film’s awards profile and commercial appeal.
