"Michael B. Jordan's upcoming remake of The Thomas Crown Affair has me excited; here's what I've uncovered about the film"
In an exciting turn of events, the production of the highly-anticipated film "The Thomas Crown Affair" has commenced. The stylish reimagining of the iconic heist story will be directed by and star Michael B. Jordan, produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Outlier Society, with a release date set for March 5, 2027[1][2][3][4][5].
Michael B. Jordan will be stepping into the lead role as the suave art thief, Thomas Crown. Originally played by Steve McQueen in 1968 and Pierce Brosnan in 1999, this role promises to be a challenging and captivating performance for the versatile actor.
Joining Jordan in the cast is Adria Arjona, who will play the female lead. Arjona will be portraying an insurance investigator engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with Crown, while also developing a romantic connection with him. Notably, Arjona replaces Taylor Russell who left the production due to creative differences.
The ensemble cast also includes Kenneth Branagh, known for his roles in films such as "Harry Potter" and "Murder on the Orient Express". Branagh's role in "The Thomas Crown Affair" is yet to be announced, but Deadline hints that it might be a villainous role.
Lily Gladstone, known for her roles in "Certain Women" and "Waves", has also been announced as a member of the cast, but her role remains a mystery.
Pilou Asbæk, who played Euron Greyjoy in "Game of Thrones", has also joined the cast. The rumors about the movie being set broadly across Europe make sense with Asbæk's casting, possibly as an Interpol agent.
Danai Gurira, famous for her roles as Michonne in "The Walking Dead" and Okoye in the MCU's "The Black Panther" films, is also part of the cast, although her role is yet to be revealed.
Rounding out the cast is Aiysha Hart, known for her roles in "Atlantis" and the recently released "We Are Lady Parts", which can be streamed with a Peacock subscription. Hart's character in "The Thomas Crown Affair" is a wildcard, with rumors suggesting she might play a forger, similar to the Anna Knudsen role in the 1999 remake.
The plot of "The Thomas Crown Affair" is expected to be similar to the 1999 film, with Michael B. Jordan playing a wealthy man who gets his thrills by stealing expensive art. Jordan's second turn behind the camera after his directorial debut with 2023's "Creed III" promises a fresh take on this classic story.
The film will be released in IMAX format, ensuring an immersive viewing experience for audiences. With its star-studded cast and intriguing plot, "The Thomas Crown Affair" is set to be a must-watch for fans of heist films and Michael B. Jordan alike.
