The Hot Mic<\/a>\u00a0and according to their sources, this is absolutely not happening. Both have heard separately that Cruise isn’t joining the project, although it’s unclear whether he was ever approached or could be in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\nSneider also adds another interesting twist to the story. He’s actually heard that neither Jordan nor Butler have been officially cast in the buzzy project. Jordan’s profile (and fee) has gone up considerably after his Oscar win this past Sunday and there’s no signed deal from Butler\u00a0either. While it’s possible both names are being withheld till the contracts are signed, it seems as though there’s still much to figure out before cameras start rolling sometime this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Universal has already dated the\u00a0MIami Vice\u00a0reboot for an August 6, 2027 release, so we should get some big casting updates sooner than later, possibly even as early as CinemaCon next month, but it’s unclear whether this title could end up being delayed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As for Cruise, he has\u00a0Alejandro G. I\u00f1\u00e1rritu’s\u00a0Digger\u00a0coming out on October 2 of this year, and has been privately working on a number of different projects in various stages of development. He was mostly recently developing an underwater horror thriller with Doug Liman and Ana de Armas, but that project seems to have been put on the backburner for now due to budget reasons, so he may have shifted gears to another collaboration with Christopher McQuarrie. The pair have a number of exciting projects in the works, including an original action-thriller film with franchise potential, an original song and dance-style musical, and a film centered around Cruise’s breakout Tropic Thunder character Les Grossman.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Cruise has been keeping a relatively low profile since the end of his\u00a0Mission: Impossible\u00a0franchise, but with his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":350464,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,146,85,46,170528,170527],"class_list":["post-350463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-starring-michael-b-jordan-austin-butler","tag-the-rumor-mill-is-hotter-than-ever-as-some-sources-are-claiming-tom-cruise-is-being-eyed-for-the-villain-role-in-joseph-kosinskis-upcoming-miami-vice-reboot"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350463"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350463\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
