Adria Arjona Replaces Taylor Russell in Thomas Crown Affair Remake

Adria Arjona has replaced Taylor Russell as the female lead opposite Michael B. Jordan in the upcoming remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, due to Russell's departure over creative differences. The film, directed by and starring Jordan as Thomas Crown, follows a high-stakes heist and a complex cat-and-mouse game involving an insurance investigator played by Arjona. The cast also includes Kenneth Branagh as the villain, Lily Gladstone, Danai Gurira, Pilou Asbæk, and Aiysha Hart, with production ongoing in London. The screenplay is penned by Drew Pearce, based on earlier drafts, with original 1968 writer Alan Trustman serving as executive producer. This remake is produced by Amazon MGM Studios with Jordan's Outlier Society and Atlas Entertainment, targeting a theatrical release on March 5, 2027. Arjona's rising profile following her role in Andor and collaborations with Amazon has generated excitement about her chemistry with Jordan and her presence in the film.
