Feast your eyes upon the official full trailer for Oceans 8, the female-led reboot starring: Sandra Bullock,Cate Blanchett,Rihanna,Anne Hathaway,Mindy Kaling,Helena Bonham Carter,Sarah Paulson, and Awkwafina. Oh, and James Corden is present as the films token male. While the teaser trailer gave us a glimpse at each characters personality (Bullock as ringleader Debbie Ocean, Hathaway as the snooty actress, and so on), the new trailer lays out the plot more firmly and lets us into the wider world of this lady-led remake.
Heres the setup: the team is going to lift some very expensive diamonds from the star-studded Met Gala, in a heist that will earn each of them $16.5 million apiece.
“Why do you need to do this?” Blanchetts character asks Ocean as the pair tuck into a meal at Veselka, a New York institution.
“Because its what Im good at,” she replies. Simple as that! Listen, if you find out you have a gift for relieving others from their fortunes, then you should ignore that urge . . . but if your last name is Ocean, you are required by movie law to lean into it.
Its hard to say whos having the most fun in this trailer. Perhaps its Blanchett with her dramatic bangs and perfect coats. Perhaps its Hathaway vamping it up as Daphne Kluger, the self-absorbed starlet whose dialogue mainly consists of “ooh” and “aah.” Perhaps its Rihanna, who gets to play cool computer hacker Nine Ball and show her technologically challenged colleagues how to turn devices on and off. Or—cue the after-school special music—its all of us, who get to sit back and enjoy this much-needed future masterpiece, which hits theaters on June 8.
