Margot Robbie: Hot Gossip About an 'Ocean's' Prequel with Bradley Cooper – Everything We Know
She's back, our favourite Aussie in Hollywood: Margot Robbie is really stirring the pot with this latest gossip. Word on the street is that she'll most likely be starring alongside Bradley Cooper in a prequel to one of the most successful heist movie franchises of all time – "Ocean's Eleven." And that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what makes the 34-year-old so exciting.
Bradley Cooper by her side – and maybe even in the director's chair?
The industry trades are all in agreement: Cooper isn't just tipped for the male lead, he's also on the verge of taking the director's chair. The pair would be following in the footsteps of heavyweights like George Clooney and Brad Pitt – just set chronologically before their adventures. It's a clever move, because Margot Robbie has proven time and again that she has a knack for smart entertainment, both in front of and behind the camera. Just look at her production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, the brains behind "Barbie" and "Saltburn."
If the deal goes through, it would be the first time the two stars have shared the screen. For Cooper, who's just been getting rave reviews for "Maestro," it would be his next directorial project after "A Star Is Born." And for Margot Robbie? Another chance to slip into an iconic role. Plot details are still under lock and key, but insiders reckon it could be about the younger years of Danny Ocean's dad or another key player pulling the strings.
From Babylon to Barbie: A woman for every occasion
When you say Margot Robbie, you've gotta say "Babylon". Damien Chazelle's wild Hollywood epic from 2022 was a real polariser, but Robbie's performance as rising star Clara Bow was simply breathtaking. The film, which you can often find in a special edition at your local electronics or department store (yep, you can still grab the DVD!), showcases her full range, from glamour to hitting rock bottom. A must-see for anyone who wants to know her for more than just being a blonde bombshell.
Looking back at Margot Robbie in 2019: she had a double win that year – once as the ice-cold figure skater in "I, Tonya" (okay, that came out in 2017, but by 2019 it was a cult classic) and, more importantly, as Sharon Tate in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." That role proved she's got more than just a perfect pout – she brings a vulnerable depth to every character.
And what about...?
Of course, there are always a few quirky side notes. Back in , a publisher put out a book that was supposed to offer a private peek into her life – your typical fan memorabilia, but it just goes to show her enduring popularity. And for all the collectors out there: the Margot Robbie 2025 calendar is already available for pre-order. No joke, just in time for Christmas, we can have her finest moments up on our walls. Whether it's a gift for your best mate or for your own home office, this calendar is guaranteed to be a cracker.
Three films you absolutely have to see her in
If you've got any gaps in your Margot Robbie filmography, here's a short but sweet list to get you started:
- The Wolf of Wall Street (2013): Her breakout role – as the seductive yet naive Naomi, she makes Leonardo DiCaprio look like yesterday's news.
- I, Tonya (2017): An Oscar-worthy performance as figure skating's notorious bad girl, Tonya Harding. It's tough, honest, and packed with dark humour.
- Barbie (2023): An absolute box office smash. As Barbie, she showed she can even bring a piece of plastic to life – and with a whole lot of feminist messaging to boot.
And then there's that little gem "Babylon," which might have been a bit underrated on the big screen but really comes into its own when you're watching the Blu-ray at home on the couch.
What's on the horizon?
One thing's for sure: Margot Robbie is way more than just a pretty face. With the "Ocean's" prequel, she could be carving out another big slice of the Hollywood pie for herself. And us Kiwis? We're just looking forward to some top-notch popcorn flicks – and the chance to see her back on the big screen soon. Until then, there's always the Margot Robbie 2025 calendar to help pass the time.
