It was first announced by The Hollywood Reporter in August 2022 that Gosling was in talks to join the Ocean’s 11 production.
At the time, the publication reported that Robbie will serve as a producer, along with husband Tom Ackerley and Michelle Graham.
The script was penned by Carrie Solomon, but other details haven’t been revealed.
The Ocean’s franchise took off after its debut in 2001, which starred George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, and Matt Damon.
Warner Bros. has built a successful archive with the success of Ocean’s 11, Ocean’s 12 and Ocean’s 13.
Ocean’s 8 came out in 2018 and featured a female-focused spin-off starring Sandra Bullock, Rihanna and Anne Hathaway.
The inspiration for the Ocean’s films came from the 1960 film of the same name, which followed Rat Pack megastars Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin.
It comes after Barbie became the studio’s highest-grossing movie of all time in US cinemas.

And Greta Gerwig has become the most successful female debut director of all time, eclipsing the $153 million earned by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck for the 2019 blockbuster Captain Marvel.
The fantasy comedy follows Barbie and Ken as they embark on a journey of self-discovery following an existential crisis.
The film, based off the Mattel character and co-written by Gerwig with husband Noah Baumbach, has been praised for its sharp examination of femininity.
