dria Arjona to Star Opposite Michael B. Jordan in ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’
Michael B. Jordan’s
highly anticipated remake of *The Thomas Crown Affair* has found its new female lead. Adria Arjona will star opposite Jordan in the reboot of the classic heist thriller, joining an impressive cast that also includes Kenneth Branagh, Danai Gurira, Lily Gladstone, and Pilou Asbæk.
Originally, Taylor Russell was set to play the lead role opposite Jordan. However, she exited the project due to creative differences, prompting the filmmakers to recast the part with Arjona. The switch comes as filming is underway in London, with production having begun at Elstree Studios in July 2025.
Arjona is best known for her standout performances in series like *Andor*, where she played Bix Caleen, as well as her roles in *Emerald City* and *Good Omens*. She has also appeared in films such as *Father of the Bride* (2022) and *Blink Twice* (2024). This opportunity marks a significant step in her career as she takes on a major lead role in a high-profile production.
Michael B. Jordan not only stars as Thomas Crown, the charismatic billionaire and art thief, but he also serves as co-producer and director, marking his second directorial effort following *Creed III*. The remake will retain the core premise of the original films — a sophisticated cat-and-mouse game between Crown and an insurance investigator, now played by Arjona.
Set for a March 5, 2027 release, the film promises a stylish update of the iconic story, with sleek visuals, European locations, and a fresh dynamic between the leads. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how Arjona and Jordan’s chemistry brings new energy to this classic talk
