Michael B Jordan takes on The Thomas Crown Affair in first trailer for new heist thriller

Michael B Jordan is taking on one of cinema’s most famous heist stories, with the first trailer for The Thomas Crown Affair offering a glimpse of the actor’s new take on the classic thriller.

Following in the footsteps of Steve McQueen and Pierce Brosnan, who starred in the 1968 original and 1999 remake respectively, Jordan steps into the role of the wealthy, thrill-seeking criminal, while also directing the film.

The new version brings together an impressive cast, including Belfast star Kenneth Branagh, Andor actress Adria Arjona, Killers of the Flower Moon star Lily Gladstone and Black Panther favourite Danai Gurira, alongside Pilou Asbæk.

Combining high-stakes crime with romance and intrigue, the new movie revisits a story built around wealth, deception and the thrill of the chase. The original films followed a wealthy businessman who orchestrates elaborate robberies for the excitement, only to find himself caught in an increasingly complicated game of attraction and suspicion.

The feature marks Jordan’s second outing as director following Creed III, with a screenplay by Drew Pearce, Leslie Dixon and Kurt Wimmer. It also sees him return to the big screen after his Oscar-winning performance in Sinners.
