Michael B. Jordan in Advanced Talks for Miami Vice

Michael B. Jordan is in early talks to play undercover detective Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs in Joseph Kosinski’s Miami Vice reboot, though no deal has been finalized. Reports say talks are progressing in his favor, and Universal has declined to provide detailed comment. The period piece, produced by Kosinski and Dylan Clark and written by Eric Warren Singer and Dan Gilroy, is inspired by the show's pilot and first season and will explore the glamour and corruption of mid‑1980s Miami; it is based on characters created by Anthony Yerkovich with Michael Mann as an original executive producer. Production is expected to begin in 2026, with the studio adjusting its schedule to accommodate Jordan’s directing and post‑production commitments, and the film will be shot for IMAX with a scheduled release of August 6, 2027. Casting for the Sonny Crockett role remains open.
