Amazon MGM Studios released the first trailer for Michael B. Jordan's reimagining of 'The Thomas Crown Affair' on Wednesday. The film, directed by and starring Jordan, is set to debut on March 5, 2027. It marks the third cinematic adaptation of the classic story about a billionaire art thief.
Jordan, who also produces the project, described the film as a long-developing passion project. According to Deadline, he noted that the reimagining will not be what audiences expect, promising a fresh take on the material. Variety reports that the trailer introduces Jordan as a globetrotting gentleman thief, updating the heist thriller for a modern audience.
The film's release will follow the original 1968 version starring Steve McQueen and the 1999 remake with Pierce Brosnan. Jordan's role as both star and director marks a significant step in his career, adding to his previous directorial work on 'Creed III'. The project is part of a broader slate of films from Amazon MGM, which has been expanding its original content.
Details about the plot and supporting cast remain under wraps, but the trailer offers glimpses of high-stakes heists and international locations. The film is expected to blend action, suspense, and style, hallmarks of the franchise. With Jordan's involvement, the new 'Thomas Crown Affair' aims to attract both longtime fans and new viewers when it hits theaters in 2027.
