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.[1] 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.[2] 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.[3] 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.[4] In March 2025, Taylor Russell was cast as the co-lead.[5] 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.[6][7][8][9] During filming, Russell left the project due to creative differences.[10] Russell was replaced by Adria Arjona.[11] In January 2026, Aubrey Plaza, Paapa Essiedu, and Ruth Negga were confirmed for the cast.[12]
Principal photography began on July 7, 2025, at Elstree Studios in England.[13][8] Filming wrapped on November 12, 2025.[citation needed] In April 2026, it was announced that Jon Batiste would compose the score.[14]
