Miami Vice ’85 just keeps adding more colorful characters to 1980s Miami. The Joseph Kosinski-helmed adaptation of the classic 1980s TV series already stars Austin Butler and Michael B. Jordan as its leads, and it’s been buffeting its supporting cast in recent weeks. Now, it’s added one of the big and small screen’s most memorable presences, and unsurprisingly to those who’ve followed his career, he’ll be playing a villain.
Butler and Jordan will play, respectively, Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, a pair of mismatched vice cops who’ve been assigned to clean up Miami’s underworld, even as cocaine floods the city. Crockett is a loose cannon who lives on a houseboat with an alligator, and Tubbs is a hot-tempered ex-NYPD cop. They’ll be facing off against a deadly cartel boss (John Leguizamo). The film will also star Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story), Whitney Peak (Hocus Pocus 2), Camila Morrone (Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen), Danny Ramirez (Top Gun: Maverick), Edi Gathegi (Superman), and Andrew Schulz (Tires).
As reported by Deadline, Walton Goggins will star in Miami Vice ’85. He’ll reportedly play a henchman to Leguizamo’s cartel boss; the two previously starred together in the action comedy American Ultra. Goggins is a late addition to the cast, as he’s greatly in demand these days; however, once a scheduling conflict was resolved with Fallout, in which Goggins stars as the undead gunslinger known as the Ghoul, he was on board the film, which is speeding like a go-fast boat to a November production start and a release date on May 19, 2028.
