Amazon MGM Studios has released the teaser trailer for The Thomas Crown Affair, the heist thriller directed, produced by, and starring Michael B. Jordan. The film opens exclusively in theaters March 5, 2027.
Jordan plays Thomas Crown, a billionaire whose meticulously planned art heist turns out to be just the opening move in a far more personal mission. The teaser hints at a globe-spanning story built around museum heists, European settings, and high-stakes stunts, framed around a single idea: the most dangerous man in the room is the one nobody’s watching. Opposite Jordan, Adria Arjona plays a sharp insurance investigator capable of matching wits with Crown, continuing the dynamic of romance and rivalry the franchise has carried since Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway originated it in 1968, later revived by Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo in the 1999 remake.
Kenneth Branagh plays a powerful figure tied directly to Crown’s personal motivation, with the ensemble rounded out by Lily Gladstone, Danai Gurira, and Pilou Asbæk.
The film’s behind-the-camera team carries real weight of its own: cinematographer Bradford Young, costume designer Ruth E. Carter, reuniting with Jordan after previous collaborations, and composer Jon Batiste, who scores the film. The screenplay comes from Drew Pearce, Leslie Dixon, and Kurt Wimmer, based on a story by Alan R. Trustman and Matthew Michael Carnahan, itself rooted in Trustman’s original screenplay. Jordan produces alongside Elizabeth Raposo, Marc Toberoff, Patrick McCormick, and Charles Roven through Outlier Society, Atlas Entertainment, and a Toberoff Production, with Jason Hall and Trustman serving as executive producers. The film is rated PG-13 for violence and action, some sexuality, nudity, strong language, and smoking.
With a creative team this deliberately assembled around a story already carrying five decades of cinematic history, Jordan’s version of The Thomas Crown Affair arrives positioned less as a simple remake and more as a direct continuation of a character defined by exactly the kind of quiet, controlled danger Jordan has built much of his career around playing.
