After more than a year of anticipation and 15-second tease yesterday, Warner Bros. finally released a full, two-and-a-half minute trailer for Ocean's 8, and it does not disappoint.
The trailer offers the most thorough explanation of the movie's plot to date. Until now, we didn't know much beyond the character's names and their target: the annual Met Gala. The trailer reveals that Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) pulls together a team of seven(!) cons for heist, with Anne Hathaway's Daphne Kluger—more specifically, the $150 million necklace around her neck—as the robbery's target.
The trailer opens with Debbie promising to live a "simple life" at her parole hearing, as quick cuts to extravagant jewels and her colleagues dressed in their finest flash onscreen:
Then we meet the rest of the group. Mindy Kaling plays a jewelry maker who makes pieces for the cons to wear to the gala. Debbie promises she won't have to live with her mother after the job:
Rihanna's Nine Ball is a hacker:
Helena Bonham-Carter's Rose is a fashion designer who's likely recruited to make gowns for the team to wear to the gala. She also appears onscreen with Daphne Kluger several times, suggesting she's closely tied to the actual theft of the necklace.
Awkwafina's Constance is a pickpocket:
And Sarah Paulson is a retired con with a family:
The trailer also offers glimpses of Richard Armitage, who finds himself at the end of Debbie's knife, and James Corden as a suspicious insurance agent, who asks Debbie, "Is it genetic? Is the whole family like this?" She responds, "Literally."
Ocean's 8 hits theaters June 8, 2018.
