In February 2016, Michael B. Jordan had approached Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to pitch a new adaptation of The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) with hopes of starring in the lead role. In April 2019, it was reported that Anthony Russo and Joe Russo would produce an adaptation of The Thomas Crown Affair with their production company AGBO. In April 2023, after having acquired MGM, Amazon announced plans to reboot the franchise, with a new feature film in development through the company's Amazon Studios, later rebranded as Amazon MGM Studios. In September 2024, it was announced that Jordan would direct and produce, with Drew Pearce writing the script, based on a previous draft by Wes Tooke and Justin Britt-Gibson. In March 2025, Taylor Russell was cast as the co-lead. In July, Kenneth Branagh, Lily Gladstone, Danai Gurira, Pilou Asbæk, and Aiysha Hart were added to the cast, with Charles Roven and his Atlas Entertainment banner joining the production. During filming, Russell left the project due to creative differences. It was speculated that Russell and Jordan had a brief romantic relationship that turned sour during production. Russell was replaced by Adria Arjona. In January 2026, Aubrey Plaza, Paapa Essiedu, and Ruth Negga were confirmed for the cast.
Principal photography began on July 7, 2025, at Elstree Studios in England. Filming wrapped on November 12, 2025.
The Thomas Crown Affair is scheduled to be released in the United States on March 5, 2027, in IMAX.
