Walton Goggins looking sharp and ready for a new role
  • Walton Goggins joins the cast as the villain.
  • Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler are already on board.
  • The movie is set in the cool, neon world of 1985.

We just saw the best news for your movie watchlist! Universal is bringing back Miami Vice, but they are doing it with a retro twist. It’s set in 1985. And the latest person to join the team is none other than Walton Goggins. We are so excited about this.

Walton is famous for playing the bad guy. He is really good at it. You might know him from Fallout or Justified. Now, he gets to face off against Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler. That is a lot of star power for one screen! The energy is going to be electric.

As art school grads, we are already dreaming about the aesthetic of this film. Think about the colors. Bright neon pinks. Deep ocean blues. It’s all about that 1980s vibe. Director Joseph Kosinski is behind the camera. He made Top Gun: Maverick look amazing, so we know this will be a visual masterpiece.

This big news reminds us of Nithya Raman’s big ask to Paramount to bring more filming back to the city. Big movies like this make the whole industry feel alive! The cast also features Whitney Peak and Alden Ehrenreich. It’s a very cool group of actors.

While we wait for more updates, we’ve been keeping an eye on other fun stories. From big news over at KBC to that funny story about Kylie Kelce’s royal invite mix-up, there is always something happening. But for now, we are just dreaming of 1985 Miami.

Our Take

We think Walton Goggins is the perfect pick for a villain. He has so much character. Watching him go up against Michael B. Jordan will be a blast. We love that the movie is staying in the ’80s too. The fashion and the cars are going to look so cool on the big screen.
