The cast of the upcoming The Thomas Crown Affair remake is growing, with THR reporting Lily Gladstone and an Oscar-winning actor have joined onto the cast.

Who is joining The Thomas Crown Affair remake cast?

Alongside Gladstone, Oscar-winning actor Kenneth Branagh and Danai Gurira have joined the cast of the remake. It’s unclear exactly who both actors will play, but they’ll join the previously announced Michael B. Jordan and Taylor Russell in the film. Jordan is also directing the project.

Jordan’s version of The Thomas Crown Affair is slated to arrive in theaters on March 5, 2027, pitting it against no direct competition at the box office. However, it is still expected to debut in the same month as other high-profile films including Sonic the Hedgehog 4 and the untitled Godzilla x Kong sequel.

The upcoming heist movie is written by Drew Pearce and Wes Tooke, based on a story by the original movie’s writer Alan Trustman. It is produced by Jordan and Elizabeth Raposo for Outlier Society, along with Patrick McCormick and Marc Toberoff. Trustman has also signed on as an executive producer. Charles Roven has also joined the project as a producer.

The original film came out in 1968, and starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway in the leading roles. A 1999 remake of the movie was also released, starring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo.

“An adventure of a millionaire playboy who steals a priceless work of art and then strikes up a fiery romance with the brilliant female insurance investigator who is on to his game,” a description of the 1999 movie reads.
