Fresh off his 2026 Oscar win, Michael B. Jordan is back in action. This time, it’s for The Thomas Crown Affair, and he showed off the first footage for it at CinemaCon.

This remake of The Thomas Crown Affair marks the second feature Jordan has directed, following 2023’s Creed III. He’s also set to star in the film alongside Adria Arjona.
