Margot Robbie is feeling frustrated with fellow Hollywood star George Clooney over their competing ideas to bring back the popular Ocean’s movie franchise. Clooney recently revealed that he’s working on Ocean’s 14, a direct sequel to the earlier films, while Robbie has been developing a completely different project connected to the series.
George Clooney has already approved a script for Ocean’s 14, which will focus on his famous character,
Danny Ocean
, and his crew as they deal with the challenges of getting older. Clooney reportedly explained that the movie will explore how the team struggles with the fact that they are no longer as young or as quick as they used to be, making their usual high-stakes heists much harder.
However, Margot Robbie, who starred in Barbie, has been quietly working on a prequel to the franchise. Her movie is expected to explore the history of Danny Ocean’s family. The story would focus on his parents and offer more background about his sister
Debbie Ocean
, played by Sandra Bullock in Ocean’s 8. Robbie is said to be collaborating with Ryan Gosling, her Barbie co-star, on this project.
An insider told Radar Online that Margot is very upset about Clooney’s announcement. They explained that although Robbie respects Clooney, she feels like his decision to move forward with Ocean’s 14 could overshadow her own film. The source suggested that Robbie has been working hard to develop her prequel idea and now feels like Clooney is “jumping the queue” by bringing his sequel to life first.
The situation has made things complicated for Robbie. She reportedly doesn’t have an issue with more sequels in the franchise, but she’s concerned that the timing of Clooney’s movie could make her project seem less important or even unnecessary.
Meanwhile, George Clooney is also dealing with personal issues. There have been ongoing rumors about his marriage to Amal Clooney. According to Hindustan Times, some sources claim the couple has been living apart due to their busy work schedules. There is talk that Amal has considered moving to New York to stop the gossip about their relationship, but those close to them say it might not be enough to quiet the rumors. They share seven-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander.
Despite the personal challenges, Clooney seems focused on bringing Ocean’s 14 to the big screen, even if it complicates Margot Robbie’s plans for her prequel film.
