Directed by Jordan, who also features in the film, ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ will be released on March 5. “Revenge is a work of art. The Thomas Crown Affair. Only in theaters March 5,” the actor wrote on Instagram.

Earlier this year, Michael B Jordan presented his film’s trailer at the Las Vegas CinemaCon 2026. “I’ve been daydreaming about making this movie for years,” Jordan said at the time, recalling that he first watched the 1999 version of the film at the age of 12 and was inspired to be part of such a project, as per the outlet.

The film is a remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, which originally starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, and was later remade in 1999, featuring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo, according to People.

Jordan, who also directs the project, said he aimed to combine “style, sophistication and rebellion” while giving the character a deeper mission. The story follows a billionaire art thief who steals valuable pieces, including a Van Gogh painting, and becomes involved with an investigator pursuing him.

The film also stars Ruth Negga, Aubrey Plaza, Danai Gurira, Kenneth Branagh, Pilou Asbaek, Paapa Essiedu and Lily Gladstone, according to People. (ANI)
