Walton Goggins will play a villain in Miami Vice ’85<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Deadline reports<\/a> 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<\/a>, who is a cartel king and the lead villain in the film. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The film will be helmed by F1 and Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski. The project was initially slated for a 2027 release, but was pushed back to May 2028<\/a>. It is expected to begin filming sometime this year, so expect more casting announcements in the coming weeks as production ramps up.<\/p>\n

Walton Goggins has made a name for himself by playing treacherous characters. He made the rounds as a variety of shady TV characters on shows like Justified, The Shield, and more. He has also starred in films like The Hateful Eight, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Tomb Raider. He’s arguably best known these days for playing The Ghoul, a sort of anti-hero in Fallout that has been corrupted by the Wasteland while searching for his long-lost family.<\/p>\n
