Universal Plans Miami Vice Reboot Starring Powell Jordan for 2027

The upcoming Miami Vice reboot, directed by Joseph Kosinski and scheduled for an August 6, 2027 release, is reportedly considering Glen Powell and Michael B. Jordan to star as James “Sonny” Crockett and Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs. The film will draw inspiration from the original 1980s TV series created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann, focusing on the glamour and corruption of mid-1980s Miami, and will be shot in IMAX for an immersive experience. Dan Gilroy is rewriting the script based on an earlier draft by Eric Warren Singer, aiming to balance high-octane action with character drama and witty dialogue. Fans have shown mixed reactions to the casting rumors, with some praising the potential charisma of Powell and Jordan, while others suggest alternative actors. This reboot aims to blend the stylish elements of the original series with a modern sensibility, differentiating itself from the 2006 film adaptation. Production is expected to begin in 2026, with Dylan Clark producing alongside Kosinski.
