More than 50 years after its release, Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti’s classic protest anthem “Gentleman” soundtracks the official trailer for Amazon MGM Studios’ upcoming heist thriller, The Thomas Crown Affair.
Released by the studio on Thursday, the preview clip highlights the 1973 track—originally written to critique colonial mentality and the imitation of Western lifestyles—introducing the legendary Nigerian musician’s sound to a new global audience.
Serving as the third cinematic adaptation of the story following the 1968 and 1999 versions, the film stars Michael Jordan as billionaire art thief Thomas Crown.
Unlike previous iterations where the protagonist steals purely out of boredom, Jordan’s character orchestrates an elaborate heist to retrieve and return stolen cultural artefacts to their rightful owners.
Set for a worldwide theatrical release on March 5, 2027, the high-stakes project features a star-studded cast, including Adria Arjona as an insurance investigator tracking Crown, alongside Kenneth Branagh, Lily Gladstone, Danai Gurira, and Pilou Asbæk.
Amazon MGM Studios confirmed that the gripping cat-and-mouse chase will pit Crown against a former FBI agent joining the investigation.
