Michael B. Jordan has given fans another glimpse of his next big-screen role after unveiling a striking new poster for his upcoming film.
The newly released artwork features the actor in a sharp tuxedo as he takes on the title role in the modern 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 an even bigger fan after watching the original 1968 classic starring Steve McQueen.
More than a year after revealing that filming had begun on his remake of “The Thomas Crown Affair,” Michael B. Jordan has given fans another look at the project by unveiling its first official poste.
Jordan appears in an elegant 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 in the film.
Above the title is the tagline, “REVENGE IS A WORK OF ART,” hinting that vengeance could play a central role in the story.
The bottom 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.

Although the film is still nearly a year away from its theatrical release, fans are already eagerly anticipating its arrival.
“I’ve never seen the version from the 1960s or 1990s, but I plan to watch them before I go see this one,” one fan wrote.
“Classic movie. One of my favorites. Definitely think MBJ can pull it off,” a second Instagram user commented.
“The one with Pierce Brosnan was awesome… I can only imagine what awesomeness will come from this one,” another fan shared.
“This man doesn’t miss. Not once. March 5 officially booked,” another user wrote, while another added, “The original is so good! Can’t wait for this.”
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 chose it as his next MGM project after the critically acclaimed Creed series.
“I loved the 1999 version as a kid — Pierce Brosnan, the slickness, the art. I didn’t grow up going to museums, so that film showed me a different side of New York. My mom’s an artist, so I was raised around paints and leather dyeing. It shaped my taste more than I realized,” he said.
Jordan added, “Later, I saw the 1968 Steve McQueen version — the split screens, the style. After Creed, MGM asked what I wanted to do next. I said, ‘Thomas Crown Affair.’ I need 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 biggest challenge came from balancing several responsibilities beyond starring in the film.
“It’s the second hardest thing I’ve ever had to do outside of Sinners,” the actor said, comparing the project to his award-winning 2025 horror film. “Directing, producing, writing, acting. It was a lot.”
The ‘Sinners’ Star Promises A Different Twist To The Project
Earlier this year, Jordan teased that his remake of “The Thomas Crown Affair” would feature plenty of unexpected twists that would keep fans guessing.
“It’s a big movie. It’s international. It’s sexy. It’s a lot of fun. A lot of twists and turns. It’s going to have some things that I think audiences won’t be expecting that might be a nice treat for them,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in January.
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 making this movie for years,” he shared. “I saw the ’99 Thomas Crown Affair when I was around 9 years old. It was a guy who was smart, sophisticated, and always three steps ahead.”
