We can all agree that Michael B. Jordan is having one hell of a run right now. Bursting onto the directing scene with the gloves on in Creed III a few years back, followed by a recent Oscar win for his dual role in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, He also shows no signs of slowing down as he’ll be teaming up with Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski for a fresh take on Miami Vice next year. And there’s even more…now he is stepping back in front of and behind the camera for an all-new take on The Thomas Crown Affair, which has just debuted its second trailer — and you can check it out here:
Now, that’s a seriously stylish trailer. Bringing a gigantic Bond-esque vibe to the material, it looks to build on the legacy of both the 1968 original and the 1999 remake. Most intriguing, however, is the cat-and-mouse game between Jordan’s art thief and Adria Arjona’s FBI agent, with the lines seemingly blurring as things threaten to get steamy very quickly. But if you’re looking for a big-screen blockbuster, this one appears to have all you’d want: exotic locations, quick cars, stylish action set pieces and a cast dressed to the nines (not to mention a incredibly paranoid-looking Kenneth Branagh). It also looks as though Jordan has taken another impressive step forward as a director since Creed III, and we can’t wait to see what he brings to this latest heist epic.
Rounding out the star-studded cast are Lily Gladstone, Danai Gurira and Pilou Asbæk. Needless to say, Jordan has assembled some seriously impressive talent for the project. The film comes to us from Amazon MGM, a studio soon to have a Bond franchise of its own. But until then, we’ll happily settle for Michael B. Jordan’s take on the world of high-stakes heists. The Thomas Crown Affair arrives in cinemas on 5 March.
