The new Miami Vice movie can have a little Goggins, as a treat

This is per Deadline, which reports that the Fallout star has just joined the film, which Kosinski is currently putting together at Universal with a script from Dan Gilroy. Talking to “uncomfirmed sources,” the outlet says Goggins has actually been in the mix for a while now, but worries about his Fallout schedule stopped him from formally being cast; with those kinks now worked out, he’s supposedly now officially down to play a henchman to John Leguizamo’s drug kingpin. Which is great news, honestly, because, while he has a considerable amount of range, we’re pretty confident that Goggins can hench with the best of ’em.

Miami Vice ’85 is, admittedly, still a pretty long way off, though: The film—reportedly taking as its inspiration the pilot episode of the original Miami Vice TV series that aired in 1984—is currently aimed at a May 2028 release date, with production expected to begin later this year. Kosinski, who’s fresh off F1, has apparently doubled down on his addiction for big, high-def cameras in the meantime, with the intent to shoot the movie in IMAX in order to capture every inch of Goggins’ endlessly fascinating face. (Also probably a lot of speedboats, fast cars, and cool clothes, but we’d be lying if we weren’t most especially psyched at the idea of a 30-foot-tall Walton at this point.)
