Michael B. Jordan Plays Cat and Mouse

Did you miss him? After winning Best Actor for Sinners, Michael B. Jordan is back with a big swing, ready to reclaim his movie-star crown. His next project is The Thomas Crown Affair, which looks sexy as hell. “Tell me something — does this billionaire thing really work?” Adria Arjona asks him in the trailer. “Usually,” he replies, and cocks his eyebrow. Hot! Later in the trailer, we see them playing pool. “Are you hustling me, Miss Bennet?” he asks her. “Hustling? No,” she replies. “Hunting? Yes.” That’s even hotter!

The movie follows Thomas Crown (Jordan), who is not only a billionaire but also a skilled art thief. He steals multiple paintings from another rich man (Kenneth Branagh), who hires Bennet (Arjona), a former FBI agent, to get them back. Crown and Bennet simultaneously seduce and suspect each other. And the trailer knows what audiences want, given back-to-back shots of Arjona and Jordan in very little clothing. Hey, maybe give Branagh some sexy shots too!

The movie is a remake of the 1999 film of the same name starring Pierce Brosnan, which is, in turn, a reimagination of a 1968 film starring Steve McQueen. Outside the three main leads, it features a bunch of exciting names. In roles that still haven’t been confirmed are Oscar nominee Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon), Jordan’s Black Panther costar Danai Gurira, and Game of Thrones actor Pilou Asbæk. Released by Amazon MGM, the film will be come out in theaters March 5, 2027. Reinforce your retainers — Jordan’s back.
