Michael B. Jordan is putting his own stamp on one of cinema’s most famous gentleman thieves. The new The Thomas Crown Affair brings the story back as a sleek romantic heist thriller, with Jordan directing, producing, and starring as Thomas Crown.

Amazon MGM Studios has now released the first teaser, confirmed the main cast, and set a worldwide theatrical date. Here is everything that has been officially announced so far, along with the details the studio is still keeping secret.

What is the new Thomas Crown Affair about?

The full plot is still under wraps. Amazon MGM describes the movie as a visually ambitious, sensual, and unexpectedly moving heist thriller in which the most dangerous person in the room may be the one nobody notices.

The teaser presents Thomas Crown as a wealthy, controlled man who treats every move as part of a larger plan. Art, luxury, attraction, and danger all sit close together. Adria Arjona’s character appears to be the person pushing hardest against Crown’s polished defenses, although the studio has not yet published her character’s name or a detailed synopsis.

That leaves the central mystery intact: is Crown stealing for money, for the thrill, for revenge, or for something more personal? The official poster points toward revenge, while the teaser carefully avoids explaining whose revenge is driving the story.

Is the 2027 movie a remake or a sequel?

Amazon MGM calls the film a reimagining of the 1968 movie, not a sequel to the 1999 version starring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. The new film can be watched as its own story.

The screenplay is credited to Drew Pearce and Jason Hall. The story credit goes to Alan R. Trustman, who wrote the original 1968 screenplay, and Pearce. That connection keeps the new version tied to the original idea while giving Jordan room to reshape its characters, motives, and style for a modern audience.

Who is in The Thomas Crown Affair cast?

Michael B. Jordan as Thomas Crown

Jordan plays the title character and also directs and produces the film. Crown is the elegant center of the mystery: a man with wealth, charm, and enough control to make every apparent accident feel deliberate.

Adria Arjona

Adria Arjona stars opposite Jordan. The teaser places her at the center of Crown’s romantic and strategic conflict, but Amazon MGM has not formally revealed her character’s name.

The supporting cast

The confirmed supporting cast includes:

  • Kenneth Branagh
  • Lily Gladstone
  • Danai Gurira
  • Pilou Asbæk

Amazon MGM has not attached official character names to those actors yet. Any detailed role descriptions circulating online should be treated as unconfirmed until the studio publishes them.

Who is making the movie?

Michael B. Jordan directs the film and produces through Outlier Society with Elizabeth Raposo. Charles Roven produces for Atlas Entertainment, with Patrick McCormick and Marc Toberoff also serving as producers. Alan R. Trustman is an executive producer.

Drew Pearce and Jason Hall wrote the screenplay. Pearce’s credits include The Fall Guy, while Hall wrote American Sniper. Grammy-winning musician Jon Batiste is composing the original score, giving the film another clear link to the stylish musical identity of earlier versions.

What does the first trailer show?

The 89-second teaser is built around control. Jordan’s Crown moves through tailored suits, art-filled spaces, private conversations, and sudden danger without revealing how the pieces connect. The editing suggests a carefully designed heist, but the trailer spends just as much time on the tension between Crown and Arjona’s character.

It is a teaser in the strict sense: there is no full explanation of the target, the plan, or the people hunting Crown. Instead, it sells the movie through mood—formal clothes, expensive rooms, physical danger, and the feeling that everyone is watching the wrong person.

The official teaser is available here.

When is The Thomas Crown Affair release date?

The Thomas Crown Affair opens in theaters worldwide on March 5, 2027. Amazon MGM has not announced any early previews or a separate international rollout.

The studio has also not announced a streaming date. A future Prime Video release is possible because the film comes from Amazon MGM Studios, but there is no confirmed streaming plan yet. For now, the only official release is the theatrical one.

Will The Thomas Crown Affair be in IMAX?

Yes. The official key art carries a “Filmed for IMAX” label, so the movie is being promoted for IMAX presentation as well as standard theaters. Exact screen formats and ticket dates will depend on local theaters closer to release.

What is still unconfirmed?

Several details remain unknown:

  • The complete plot synopsis
  • Most character names and roles
  • The runtime
  • The age rating
  • A streaming or digital release date
  • Whether actors from earlier versions will appear

Those gaps are normal this far ahead of release. Amazon MGM has enough time to reveal a full trailer, additional character details, and the final theatrical schedule before March 2027.
