Sandra Bullock is back!

Ocean's 8 is not only one of the most anticipated movies for the next few months it's also Sandra Bullock's first movie in nearly three years. 

The Oscar winner and mom of two, who last starred in 2015's Our Brand is Crisis, leads the all-female cast of the new heist comedy, a spin off of the popular Ocean's trilogy.

But as Bullock, 53, tells USA TODAY, there was one point when she considered quitting acting altogether.

Explaining how she got to where she is today, the actress credited director Jan de Bont for giving her her breakout role in 1994's Speed, "when I was the last person the studio wanted. 

My career has been a domino effect of people who said, 'I would like this person to fill this role,' " Bullock says, sitting with co-stars Cate Blanchett and Sarah Paulson. "And not just in the industry, but people in my life. My mother raised me like, 'You don’t need to get married, you forge your own path. You make your own money, and be your own person.' And I literally went out into the world thinking there was no disparity, that everyone was equal, and I can do whatever a man can do."

It wasn't until later in her career that Bullock had a "wake-up moment, where I was like, 'What is this feeling? Why do I feel so (expletive)?' " she continues. " 'Oh, my God, I'm being treated this way because I have a vagina.' "

Bullock did not get into specifics about the sexist behavior she was subjected to, though she said it's had a lasting effect.

Here's the trailer:

We can't wait for the movie!
