Michael B. Jordan in Talks for Miami Vice Reboot Directed by Joseph Kosinski
Michael B. Jordan is reportedly in early discussions to take the lead in director Joseph Kosinski’s reimagining of the iconic 1980s television series Miami Vice. The film is currently slated for release on August 6, 2027, and is among the most highly anticipated reboots in development.
Early Negotiations and Casting
According to sources, negotiations are in the early stages but progressing steadily. Jordan is the leading candidate to portray an undercover detective — a modern reflection of the partnership seen in the original show.
“Sources say it is still very early days and no deals are done, but after scheduling was worked out for the film, Jordan is engaging and interested in starring in the project.”
Jordan’s strong box office track record and recent performances have positioned him as a top contender. His schedule reportedly aligns well with the production timeline.
Creative Vision and Production
Kosinski’s version is envisioned as a visually rich crime thriller, steeped in the style and atmosphere of mid-1980s Miami. Industrial Light and Magic is set to handle the visual effects for post-production, ensuring a high-end cinematic look.
Supporting Cast and Studio Strategy
Actor Austin Butler is also in talks for a role as Jordan’s detective partner, designed to echo the chemistry of Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas from the classic series. Butler’s recent acclaimed dramatic work makes him an appealing addition to the cast.
The collaboration between Jordan and Kosinski signals the studio’s strong belief in rebooting a beloved property with modern energy. Kosinski’s recent success with F1, which grossed over $600 million globally, further raises expectations for the project’s potential impact.
Author’s Summary
Michael B. Jordan may soon headline Joseph Kosinski’s sleek Miami Vice reboot, a stylish return to 1980s Miami with strong studio backing and a 2027 release on the horizon.
