Rihanna gave us a sneak peek at her new film Ocean’s 8 on Monday, and from the photo alone, we’re hype.

The spin-off of the Ocean’s Trilogy is focused around Danny Ocean’s (George Clooney) estranged sister Debbie (Sandra Bullock), who assembles a group of badass women to pull off a heist at the annual Met Gala.

Ocean’s crew is composed of Lou (Cate Blanchett), Rose (Helena Bonham Carter), Daphne Kluger (Anne Hathaway), Nine Ball (Rihanna), Tammy (Sarah Paulson), Amita (Mindy Kaling), and Constance (Awkwafina)—who are all pictured with large suitcases on a subway car in the Instagram photo. 

First looQ at #Oceans8 …. Coming summer 2018. 🕷🎱

As noted by PEOPLE, the cast has been spotted filming all over New York City since October of last year, with an especially memorable sighting featuring Sandra and Rihanna enjoying hot dogs at the popular New York fast food chain Papaya King in early December. 

Produced by Clooney, we can also look forward to seeing Matt Damon in the film. And because it’s set at a major fashion event, Anna Wintour, Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian West, Zac Posen and Alexander Wang will make appearances as well. 

In a nutshell, this is going to be epic.
