André Holland Reported to Join Universal’s Miami Vice ’85

The casting signals Universal’s push to build a star-studded, IMAX-shot reboot with several casting and schedule items still unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Trade outlets reported that André Holland has joined the expanding cast of Miami Vice ’85, though his character details have not been disclosed.
  • The film is built around Michael B. Jordan as Ricardo Tubbs and Austin Butler as James “Sonny” Crockett, who lead an ensemble of high-profile supporting players.
  • Joseph Kosinski is set to direct and Dan Gilroy is credited as screenwriter, with Dylan Clark and Kosinski producing and an earlier draft by Eric Warren Singer reported.
  • Industry reports say the movie is planned to be shot for IMAX, is expected to film in New York and Miami with a target to begin production in November 2026, and is slated for release on May 19, 2028, but those dates and some castings remain trade-reported rather than studio-confirmed.
  • The project explicitly draws on the pilot-era tone of the original 1984 Miami Vice and aims for a large-scale, cinematic reimagining that leans on nostalgia and star power to position the film as a major tentpole.
