Why Michael B. Jordan’s Thomas Crown Affair Trailer Has James Bond Fans Losing Their Minds
The first trailer for The Thomas Crown Affair gives fans a glimpse of Michael B. Jordan‘s stylish take on the high-octane heist movie. It follows a wealthy and thrill-seeking billionaire who steals an invaluable painting while a concurrent heist fails. An insurance investigator follows him to catch him; both become entangled in a high-stakes, romantic game of cat and mouse.
The new footage highlights Jordan’s cool attitude, sharp tuxedo suits, expensive locations, and intense action sequences. Instead of focusing on the story, fans have started to compare the movie’s near resemblance to James Bond. Although Jordan has never been in the conversation to play 007, many fans believe this performance captures the same charm, style, and confidence that define the famous spy character.
James Bond comparisons dominate reactions to the ‘Thomas Crown Affair’ trailer
The Thomas Crown Affair trailer opens with Thomas walking through an art gallery, before showing glimpses of racing cars, elegant parties, expensive artwork, and bold robberies. The movie’s sleek action, robberies, and Jordan’s good-looking suits made fans believe it is giving off serious 007 energy.
One fan, @YuvrajS9258, said the movie looks “more like James Bond,” referring to the 1999 version of the same film, which “literally had a Bond actor [Pierce Brosnan] playing the main character.” Another user, @JoeJutsuKaisen, praised the trailer, adding, “kind of feels like an audition for James Bond low-key in my head, the love interest in this tho…..MBJ is never beating the allegations.”
The original The Thomas Crown Affair was released in 1968 with Steve McQueen in the lead before a remake came out in 1999 with Pierce Brosnan. Now Michael B. Jordan’s version marks the third adaptation of the classic story.
Fans can catch The Thomas Crown Affair in theaters on March 5, 2027.
