The first trailer for Michael B. Jordan's remake of The Thomas Crown Affair has arrived, offering a stylish glimpse into the upcoming heist thriller.
The film, slated for a March 5, 2027, theatrical release, features Jordan in the titular role of Thomas Crown, a billionaire with a penchant for art theft. The plot centers on Crown's cat-and-mouse game with an insurance investigator, played by Adria Arjona, which blossoms into romance. This marks Jordan's second directorial effort, following 2023's Creed 3, and he also serves as a producer.
The trailer showcases a visually rich experience, highlighting Crown's sophisticated heists amidst opulent settings, fast cars, and high fashion. Jordan's performance has been described as channeling a "best Bond impression." The film also features Kenneth Branagh and a bungee jumping sequence, elements that may appeal to fans of cerebral thrillers like Christopher Nolan's Tenet.
This remake is the second iteration of The Thomas Crown Affair. The original 1968 film starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway and focused on bank robbery. The 1999 remake, with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo, shifted the focus to art theft, a theme that Jordan's version appears to continue.
The supporting cast includes Lily Gladstone and Danai Gurira.
