Ocean's 8 Looks Like a Wild Ride — Get to Know Debbie Ocean's Whole Gang

Apr 22 2018 - 9:35am

The cast of Ocean's 8 [1] is so good it should be illegal. Hitting theaters June 8, the highly anticipated spinoff [2] follows an all-female ragtag crew as they attempt to pull off a multi-million-dollar heist at the annual Met Gala. Ocean's 8 stars heavy-hitters like Sandra Bullock [3], Cate Blanchett [4], Sarah Paulson, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway [5], and Mindy Kaling, in addition to silver-screen newcomers like Rihanna [6] and Awkwafina. Ahead, familiarize yourself with each important character that you get a glimpse of in the film's glam trailers [7] before it arrives in movie theaters.

Sandra Bullock as Debbie Ocean

Debbie is Danny Ocean's estranged sister [9], so naturally she has a knack for planning elaborate heists. Fresh out of prison, she rounds up a group of women to help her rob the annual Met Gala in NYC.

Cate Blanchett as Lou

We don't know too much about Lou quite yet, other than that she's Debbie's friend, confidante, and partner-in-crime. Oh, and that she has excellent taste in outerwear.

Rihanna as Nine Ball

Rihanna [10] plays a pool shark named Nine Ball, who notes that her real name is actually Eight Ball. She also appears to be the group's tech genius.

Helena Bonham Carter as Rose

Rose is a fashion designer with a money problem, which helps Debbie convince her to join her crew.

Mindy Kaling as Amita

They won't be able to steal a giant diamond necklace without decoy jewelry to put in its place, which is where Mindy Kaling's Amita comes in.

Anne Hathaway as Daphne Kluger

The necklace that Debbie wants to make off with will be around the neck of Daphne Kluger, a celebrity attending the Met Gala, who's also in on the plan.

Awkwafina as Constance

Constance is a master of sleight of hand, which will no doubt come in handy (pun intended) when it comes to subtly switching out a gazillion-dollar necklace guarded by a team of security.

Sarah Paulson as Tammy

Sarah Paulson's Tammy is a housewife who's finally free of her criminal lifestyle . . . until Debbie comes crashing back into her world and sucks her back in.
