Walton Goggins has reportedly landed a secondary villain role in Joseph Kosinski’s new “Miami Vice ’85” film at Universal Pictures.
Goggins will play one of the henchmen to John Leguizamo’s cartel king, the film’s main villain.
Michael B. Jordan plays Ricardo Tubbs, and Austin Butler is James ‘Sonny’ Crockett in the movie that will explore the glamour and corruption of mid-1980s Miami as it follows two detectives who work undercover.
Dan Gilroy pens the project which is said to be inspired by the pilot episode and first season of the landmark television series, which Michael Mann produced and was hugely influential on the TV and cultural landscape.
Goggins joins a cast that also includes Alden Ehrenreich, Edi Gathegi, Whitney Peak, Camila Morrone, Danny Ramirez, John Leguizamo and Andrew Schulz.
Kosinski is directing the project that aims to begin production in November and will shoot in New York and Miami. The project is being shot for IMAX and will open in cinemas May 19th 2028.
