Miami Vice '85 Casts Walton Goggins in Villain Role

Walton Goggins will play a villain in Miami Vice '85.

Deadline reports that Goggins, who has made a name for himself in recent years via Fallout and The White Lotus, will leverage his nefarious qualities on the big screen in 2028. The actor will play a henchman/assassin acting on behalf of John Leguizamo's character, who is a cartel king and the lead villain in the film.

The two villains will be contending with characters played by Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler, who will play Ricardo Tubbs and Sonny Crockett, respectively.

Not much is known about the film right now, but it is expected to be a period reboot of the iconic TV series. It's not a sequel to Michael Mann's own film adaptation of the TV series or an extension of the original source material.

The film will be helmed by F1 and Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski. …
