Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler Set for Miami Vice Reboot
Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler have signed on as undercover detectives, with Universal Pictures planning an IMAX release in 2027.
- Universal Pictures officially confirmed Miami Vice '85, with Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler signed to star under director Joseph Kosinski's helm. The project marks a major studio commitment to the iconic franchise.
- Inspired by the pilot and first season of the Anthony Yerkovich-created TV series, the film explores the glamour and corruption of mid-80s Miami. The original 1980s show ran on NBC from 1984 to 1990.
- Butler will portray detective James 'Sonny' Crockett, a role originated by Don Johnson in the original series, while Jordan plays fellow undercover officer Ricardo 'Rico' Tubbs, previously portrayed by Philip Michael Thomas.
- Production on the IMAX-filmed project begins this year, with Universal scheduling the worldwide theatrical release for August 6, 2027. Kosinski will direct using the same large-format technology he employed on F1 and Top Gun: Maverick.
- Unlike the 2006 Miami Vice adaptation, this version functions as a period film set in the 1980s. Jordan and Butler arrive at the project following recent Academy Award recognition, positioning both at the height of their careers.
