George Clooney has the perfect response to Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling’s rumored roles in the Ocean’s prequel movie. Clooney starred in the Ocean’s trilogy, which was released from 2001 to 2007, as the titular Danny Ocean, an ex-convict who recruits experts and orchestrates elaborate heists. Not much is known about the long-gestating Ocean’s prequel movie other than Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling have been cast in lead roles, though a recent rumor may have revealed who the Barbie stars will be playing.
While not confirmed, it has been rumored that Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling will be playing Danny Ocean’s parents in the Ocean’s 11 prequel movie. Talking to Variety at the premiere of his new movie The Boys in the Boat, Clooney shared a perfect response to the rumor, saying “It makes sense,” and seemingly giving his seal of approval. Check out Clooney’s full response below:
Margot Robbie’s my mother? I’ve always thought that. And Ryan Gosling is my father, and when you think about it, it makes sense. Truly.
Margot Robbie & Ryan Gosling’s Rumored Ocean’s Roles Would Continue A Franchise Trend
If Robbie and Gosling are playing Danny Ocean’s parents in the prequel movie, it would continue a franchise trend established by Ocean’s 8. Released in 2018, the all-female spin-off film followed Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock), Danny’s sister, who plans a sophisticated heist at the annual Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Now, with rumors swirling that Robbie and Gosling will play Danny Ocean’s parents, the upcoming prequel could continue the franchise trend of having spinoff films follow members of Danny Ocean’s family.
Margot Robbie’s Ocean’s 11 Prequel Can Fix A Long-Running Franchise Problem
The Ocean’s Eleven franchise is being rebooted for a third time with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, and it could fix a major series casting problem.
The Ocean’s prequel is set to be directed by Jay Roach who has promised that the film will continue the franchise tradition of heist movies, though he’s also said “it’s very much a love story.” With Robbie and Gosling potentially playing Danny Ocean’s parents, who are likely equally adept at planning heists, the prequel could end up chronicling the love story that conceives the eventual ex-convict who leads life of high-stakes crime. For now, Robbie and Gosling playing Danny Ocean’s parents is still very much a rumor, though Clooney’s response is sure to increase interest in the tantalizing idea.
