Michael B Jordan makes first appearance after Oscar win, unveils 'The Thomas Crown Affair'

Michael B Jordan presents trailer for his directorial remake 'The Thomas Crown Affair' following his 2026 Oscar win for Best Actor.

"I've been daydreaming about making this movie for years. - Michael B Jordan"

Washington DC, April 17

Actor Michael B Jordan made his first public appearance since winning Best Actor at the 2026 Oscars, as he presented his upcoming film The Thomas Crown Affair at CinemaCon 2026, according to People.

Jordan appeared at the event in Las Vegas alongside co-star Adria Arjona, where he debuted the trailer of the romantic crime thriller.

"I've been daydreaming about making this movie for years," Jordan said, recalling that he first watched the 1999 version of the film at the age of 12 and was inspired to be part of such a project, as per the outlet.

The film is a remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, which originally starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, and was later remade in 1999, featuring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo, according to People.

Jordan, who also directs the project, said he aimed to combine "style, sophistication and rebellion" while giving the character a deeper mission. The story follows a billionaire art thief who steals valuable pieces, including a Van Gogh painting, and becomes involved with an investigator pursuing him.

The film also stars Ruth Negga, Aubrey Plaza, Danai Gurira, Kenneth Branagh, Pilou Asbaek, Paapa Essiedu and Lily Gladstone, according to People.

Jordan's latest outing follows his collaboration with director Ryan Coogler on the film 'Sinners', which earned him the Best Actor award at the 2026 Oscars.

Describing the upcoming film, Jordan said, "It's a big movie. It's international. It's sexy. It's a lot of fun... with twists and turns that audiences won't be expecting," according to People.

'The Thomas Crown Affair' is slated for release on March 7, 2027.

Interesting choice for a remake. The 1999 version with Brosnan was quite stylish. Hope Jordan brings something fresh to it. The cast looks impressive, especially with Kenneth Branagh. But I wish Bollywood would also get this kind of global spotlight for our remakes.

Respectfully, I'm a bit tired of Hollywood remakes. So many original stories from around the world, including India, deserve adaptation. That said, MBJ is talented and I'm sure he'll do a good job. The "deeper mission" angle sounds promising.

He watched it at 12 and now he's directing it! What a full-circle moment. Shows how movies can inspire careers. The plot sounds like a fun, glamorous heist film. Perfect for a weekend watch with friends.

March 2027 is so far away! The wait will be long. But the combination of style, sophistication and rebellion he mentioned is exactly what made the original work. Hope the Indian release date is the same. We often get films late.

Great to see him collaborating with Ryan Coogler again on 'Sinners'. That partnership clearly works wonders. A bit skeptical about remakes, but with him directing and starring, it has potential. The international setting should be visually stunning.
