Ocean's 11 prequel producer teases Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie reunion
"They’re wonderful together. The more projects even outside of that we can have them do would be amazing."
The undisputed cinematic hit of the Summer was, of course, Barbie, in no small part due to the winning, joyous chemistry between leads Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.
Unsurprisingly, the duo are set to team up again, starring together in a prequel to 2001 film Ocean's Eleven. The new film is set to be directed by Jay Roach and written by Carrie Solomon, and is expected to be set in 1960s Europe.
Now, Josey McNamara, who was an executive producer on Barbie and is executively producing the Ocean's prequel film, has spoken with GamesRadar about what fans can expect from the film, saying: "I can’t really say much. But I think we’re just trying to do right by the franchise. I’m excited for people to experience it when it’s ready."
When asked specifically about the reunion of Robbie and Gosling, McNamara said: "They’re wonderful together. The more projects even outside of that we can have them do would be amazing."

A fourth film, Ocean's Eight, was later released in 2018, and acted as a female-led spin-off to the original franchise, starring Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway and more.
The new film is set to be produced in part by LuckyChap Entertainment, the production company co-founded by Robbie, which has previously produced films including I, Tonya, Promising Young Woman, Birds of Prey, Barbie and the upcoming Saltburn.

The prequel starring Robbie and Gosling may not be the only upcoming Ocean's film on the cards, either. Earlier this year, George Clooney joked that original trilogy director Steven Soderbergh should helm a crossover between the Ocean's franchise and Magic Mike, called Ocean's Mike.
