Fans had plenty to say about Jordan soaking within the moment, and never all of it was straightforward praise. While many applauded his journey, others couldn\u2019t resist just a little sarcasm because the Oscar buzz continues to follow him.<\/p>\n

One X<\/a> user joked, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, it won\u2019t get old because we\u2019re still waiting for the primary one to truly match the hype. CinemaCon award energy is robust, though.\u201d<\/p>\n

One other chimed in, \u201cLmaoooo bro still cheesing like he just got the decision yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others kept it more celebratory. \u201cMuch respect. After all, it shouldn\u2019t get old, and other actors feel the identical way. Congratulations to MBJ again for an epic and well-deserved win!\u201d one fan wrote.<\/p>\n

Jordan wasn\u2019t just at CinemaCon to bask in his recent Oscar glow; he also got here with a primary take a look at what\u2019s next. The actor unveiled footage from his upcoming film \u201cThe Thomas Crown Affair,\u201d where he stars opposite Adria Arjona.<\/p>\n

Within the trailer, Jordan steps into the role of Thomas Crown, a seasoned art thief who pulls off a daring heist involving a priceless Sunflowers painting from a museum. However the job becomes complicated when he finds himself drawn to Arjona\u2019s character, the investigator tasked with tracking him down.<\/p>\n

\u201cTell me something, does this billionaire thing really work?\u201d her character asks during a dinner date.<\/p>\n

\u201cOften,\u201d Crown coolly replies.<\/p>\n

Jordan revealed the role wasn\u2019t just one other project, but one he had been chasing for years. \u201cThe Thomas Crown Affair\u201d marks a fresh reboot of the franchise, following the 1968 original and its 1999 remake, each centered on a thrill-seeking billionaire art thief locked in a high-stakes game with an investigator.<\/p>\n

The brand new take leans into that very same mixture of slick motion and romance, with Jordan seen racing on a track, cracking open a large vault, and going head-to-head with multiple adversaries. One standout moment even shows him scaling a skyscraper while strapped to a cable.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on how long the concept has stayed with him, Jordan admitted, \u201cI\u2019ve been daydreaming about making this movie for years,\u201d adding that he first saw the 1999 version when he was just 12.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanna be in a movie like that someday,\u201d he recalled considering on the time, per Entertainment Weekly<\/a>.<\/p>\n
