Michael B. Jordan has given fans one other glimpse of his next big-screen role after unveiling a striking recent poster for his upcoming film.
The newly released artwork features the actor in a pointy tuxedo as he takes on the title role in the fashionable remake of the 1968 heist classic “The Thomas Crown Affair.”
Jordan has previously spoken about his personal connection to the film, revealing that he grew up loving the 1999 version starring Pierce Brosnan. He later became a fair greater fan after watching the unique 1968 classic starring Steve McQueen.
Greater than a 12 months after revealing that filming had begun on his remake of “The Thomas Crown Affair,” Michael B. Jordan has given fans one other have a look at the project by unveiling its first official poste.
Jordan appears in a sublime ivory-white tuxedo jacket paired with a crisp white shirt and black bow tie. A black leather-gloved hand adjusts the bow tie, reinforcing the polished, sophisticated image of the master thief he portrays within the film.
Above the title is the tagline, “REVENGE IS A WORK OF ART,” hinting that vengeance could play a central role within the story.
The underside of the poster confirms an IMAX release and a theatrical debut on March 5, 2027, and credits the creative team Jordan partnered with to bring the project to life.

Michael B. Jordan Shares His Personal ‘Thomas Crown Affair Story’
During an appearance on Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast last November, Jordan discussed his lifelong admiration for “The Thomas Crown Affair” franchise and why he selected it as his next MGM project after the critically acclaimed Creed series.
“I loved the 1999 version as a child — Pierce Brosnan, the slickness, the art. I didn’t grow up going to museums, in order that film showed me a unique side of Latest York. My mom’s an artist, so I used to be raised around paints and leather dyeing. It shaped my taste greater than I spotted,” he said.
Jordan added, “Later, I saw the 1968 Steve McQueen version — the split screens, the style. After Creed, MGM asked what I desired to do next. I said, ‘Thomas Crown Affair.’ I would like that.”
Jordan Says Making Film Pushed Him To The Limit
For his remake of “The Thomas Crown Affair,” Michael B. Jordan temporarily relocated to England, where the film was shot.
The move left him feeling homesick, but the largest challenge got here from balancing several responsibilities beyond starring within the film.
“It’s the second hardest thing I’ve ever needed to do outside of Sinners,” the actor said, comparing the project to his award-winning 2025 horror film. “Directing, producing, writing, acting. It was rather a lot.”

During a subsequent appearance at MGM Studios’ CinemaCon in April, Jordan offered further insight into what drew him to “The Thomas Crown Affair.”
“I’ve been daydreaming of creating this movie for years,” he shared. “I saw the ’99 Thomas Crown Affair once I was around 9 years old. It was a man who was smart, sophisticated, and at all times three steps ahead.”
