Monaco is set to take centre stage in Hollywood once again, as the upcoming Ocean’s 11 prequel will be set during the iconic 1962 Monaco Grand Prix. The announcement was confirmed by Margot Robbie at CinemaCon, where she revealed new details about the highly anticipated project.
The film, which also stars Bradley Cooper, explores the story of Danny Ocean’s parents — the characters who shaped the legendary con artist originally portrayed by George Clooney. Set against the glamour and intensity of Monaco’s most famous race, the narrative will follow an ambitious heist unfolding during the Grand Prix weekend.
Robbie, who is also producing the film through her company LuckyChap, described the story as a look at two masterminds operating at the height of their powers. The choice of Monaco as a backdrop reinforces the franchise’s long-standing connection with luxury, elegance and high-stakes intrigue.
The 1962 Monaco Grand Prix, famously won by Bruce McLaren, took place on the same legendary circuit that continues to define the race today. Its inclusion adds a layer of authenticity that is likely to resonate with both local audiences and motorsport enthusiasts.
Filming is expected to begin later this year, with a theatrical release scheduled for June 2027. While it remains unclear whether production will take place directly in Monaco, the Principality’s unmistakable atmosphere is set to play a central role in the film’s visual identity.
