Production
In February 2016, Michael B. Jordan approached Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to pitch a new adaptation of The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) with hopes of starring in the lead role. 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. 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. 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. In March 2025, Taylor Russell was cast as the co-lead. 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. During filming, Russell left the project due to creative differences. Russell was replaced by Adria Arjona. In November 2025, Aubrey Plaza, Paapa Essiedu, and Ruth Negga were confirmed for the cast, but it was later stated that it was incorrectly reported.
Principal photography began on July 7, 2025, at Elstree Studios in England. Filming wrapped in November 2025.
