Michael B. Jordan is going after the most elegant heist in movie history. Amazon MGM Studios released the full official trailer for The Thomas Crown Affair on Thursday, November 12, offering the longest look yet at Jordan’s reimagining of the 1968 classic. Jordan directs, produces and stars as Thomas Crown, a wealthy thrill-seeker who pulls off a daring art theft, with Adria Arjona as the investigator determined to catch him. The film opens in theaters worldwide on March 5, 2027.
What happens in The Thomas Crown Affair trailer?
The two-and-a-half-minute trailer, posted to Amazon MGM Studios’ official YouTube channel, leans into glamour and tension. Jordan’s Crown moves through galleries, galas and private jets with the confidence of someone who is never the obvious suspect, while Arjona’s investigator closes in. The studio sums up the tone as a “sensual, and unexpectedly moving heist thriller,” and the trailer’s verbal sparring makes it clear the chase will be as much romance as crime. The trailer premiered exclusively on TODAY, alongside a video message from Jordan about what reimagining the character means to him.
Who is in The Thomas Crown Affair cast?
According to the studio, the cast includes:
- Michael B. Jordan as Thomas Crown
- Adria Arjona as the investigator on Crown’s trail
- Kenneth Branagh
- Lily Gladstone
- Danai Gurira
- Pilou Asbæk
The screenplay is by Drew Pearce and Jason Hall, from a story by Pearce and Alan R. Trustman, who wrote the 1968 original. Jon Batiste composes the score. Producers include Jordan and Elizabeth Raposo for Outlier Society, Charles Roven for Atlas Entertainment, Patrick McCormick and Marc Toberoff.
Is The Thomas Crown Affair a remake?
Yes, though the studio prefers the word reimagining. This is the third screen version of the story. Norman Jewison’s 1968 film starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, and John McTiernan’s 1999 remake paired Pierce Brosnan with Rene Russo and became a commercial and critical hit. Jordan’s version has been in development for years; MGM first set it up with him attached in 2016, and it reunites him with the studio behind his 2023 directing debut, Creed III. It is his second feature as director, and his first since winning the Oscar for Sinners.
When does The Thomas Crown Affair come out?
The film hits theaters, including IMAX, on March 5, 2027. That gives it an early-spring slot after a crowded holiday season led by Avengers: Doomsday and the rest of our November and December release guide. Amazon MGM has not announced a streaming date for Prime Video, which usually follows a theatrical window.
