The Disappointing Production Update
In May 2022, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were announced as the lead cast for the Ocean's Eleven prequel movie, set in Monte Carlo during 1962. The details surrounding the film have been sparse, but the anticipation for their reunion, following their collaboration in the billion-dollar Barbie movie, has been high. However, the latest update from Robbie has left fans disappointed, as the production status of the Ocean's Eleven prequel remains uncertain.

In a recent profile by Deadline, Robbie revealed that the project is still in early development and may not be the next movie she makes. She expressed that it's a significant project that requires careful planning due to logistical considerations. Robbie also mentioned other upcoming projects for her production company, LuckyChap, including a film with Olivia Wilde and several TV ventures. As for her acting career, Robbie expressed that there are no concrete plans yet, indicating a level of uncertainty surrounding her future projects.
What's Next For Margot Robbie After Barbie?
Following the massive success of Barbie, which grossed over $1.4 billion at the box office and received critical acclaim, Robbie and writer-director Greta Gerwig are not enthusiastic about the idea of a Barbie 2. Robbie emphasized that they poured their hearts into the first movie and did not envision it as the beginning of a trilogy. This stance suggests that Barbie 2 is not in the cards for the future.
While it was initially speculated that the Ocean's Eleven prequel would be Robbie's next project after Barbie, her recent comments indicate otherwise. Instead, Robbie will be involved in producing Olivia Wilde's upcoming film, Naughty, a Christmas comedy described as 'Bridesmaids in the North Pole.' Additionally, LuckyChap, Robbie's production company, has been busy with other projects, including Megan Park's comedy My Old Ass and the development of Tank Girl, based on the British comic book of the same name. As for Robbie's acting career, she mentioned considering a few options, but nothing has been finalized yet.
The Anticipation for Robbie's Next Project
Regardless of which project Margot Robbie chooses to star in next, whether it's the Ocean's Eleven prequel or another endeavor, it is certain to generate significant interest. After the triumph of Barbie and the excitement surrounding the potential Ocean's Eleven prequel, fans are eager to see what Robbie's next move will be. With her track record of delivering compelling performances and her involvement in diverse productions through LuckyChap, Robbie's future projects are highly anticipated.
