Michael B. Jordan's The Thomas Crown Affair remake is becoming a star-studded affair as Lily Gladstone and Kenneth Branagh are the latest additions to the cast. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jordan is reuniting with his Black Panther co-star, Zimbabwean-American actress Danai Gurira. They will star alongside Jordan and Taylor Russell.
The plot details are still under wraps, but the script is written by Drew Pearce, known for writing The Fall Guy (2024), Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015), and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019), among other thriller projects. He is taking over the writing duties from Wes Tooke and Justin Britt-Gibson, who wrote the film's first draft.
Slated for a 2027 release, The Thomas Crown Affair is based on Norman Jewison's 1968 eponymous film, starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, and was also adapted in 1999 by John McTiernan. Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo starred in the latter film, which followed a rich man seeking the thrill of art heists while finding his match in a female investigator. Aside from being a heist thriller, it also followed the romance between its two leads.
In the latest adaptation, Michael B. Jordan will play the art-loving billionaire, while Taylor Russell will star as the detective, crossing paths with him. Per THR, Danai Gurira is playing the confidante to Jordan's character. However, no details about Lily Gladstone and Kenneth Branagh have been revealed so far.
Jordan will direct and produce the project, besides starring in it. He is backing it from his Outlier Society banner along with Elizabeth Raposo. They are joined by Marc Toberoff (Toberoff Productions), Charles Roven (Atlas Entertainment), and Patrick McCormick. The writer behind the 1968 film, Alan Trustman, will executive produce Jordan's project.
