Michael B. Jordan Sets 'Thomas Crown Affair' Reimagining for March 2027 Theatrical Release

Jordan describes his take as a more personal, higher-stakes story that rethinks the franchise’s bored-billionaire premise.

Overview

  • On Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast, he confirmed he directed and stars in the film, with production completed in London.
  • The project is with Amazon MGM Studios, with Jordan producing through his Outlier Society banner.
  • Reported cast members include Ruth Negga, Aubrey Plaza, Kenneth Branagh, Lily Gladstone, Adria Arjona, Pilou Asbæk and Danai Gurira.
  • Jordan says he pitched the new take after growing up on the 1999 Pierce Brosnan version and being influenced by his artist mother.
  • He emphasizes it is a reimagining rather than a reboot and calls the directing challenge one of his toughest to date.
