Kenneth Branagh, Producer Charles Roven Set For ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ At Amazon MGM

  • Amazon MGM Studios is producing a reimagined third Thomas Crown Affair film starring and directed by Michael B. Jordan, with production starting this summer in London and a theatrical release planned for March 5, 2027.
  • Jordan's project follows the classic heist thriller format established by the 1968 original and the 1999 remake, with Drew Pearce and others writing the script and production led by Charles Roven and Jordan's Outlier Society.
  • The film features a cast including Oscar-winning Kenneth Branagh reportedly playing a villain, Oscar-nominee Lily Gladstone, Taylor Russell as Crown’s romantic interest, and Danai Gurira as his confidante, while plot details remain under wraps.
  • Jordan’s prior directorial success with Creed III, which earned $276 million worldwide, supports confidence in this film’s theatrical-only release, emphasizing no streaming shortcut to reach audiences exclusively in theaters.
  • The upcoming Thomas Crown Affair revival suggests Amazon MGM’s intent to elevate the franchise’s prestige through a strong creative team and cast, potentially reinvigorating the heist genre with international locations and fresh dynamics.
