Female cast for Ocean's 8

Female cast for Ocean's 8

We've known for a bit that Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett will be plotting the biggest heist ever in Ocean's Eight, but they're not alone.

According to sources, also close to joining the squad are Rihanna, Anne Hathaway and rapper-actress Awkwafina.

For those keeping score, that's three Academy Award winners (Hathaway, Bullock and Blanchett), a two-time Oscar nominee (Carter), one of the biggest-selling popstars ever (Rihanna), a six-time Emmy nominee (Kaling) and the freshest MC on the mic (Awkwafina).

Much like with Ghostbusters, Ocean's Eleven filmmaker Steven Soderbergh is producing the remake with The Hunger Games' Gary Ross directing.

There's even a chance that Ocean's Eleven stars George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts could cameo in Ocean's Eight. Hey, why doesn't Julia Roberts just fill that eighth spot herself?

We're pretty psyched because Helena Bonham Carter has already promised that Ocean's Eight "will be great for women", insisting: "It's a really good script."

Ocean's Eight starts shooting in New York this autumn.
