Michael B. Jordan has had a big year, as he headlined the critically acclaimed vampire thriller Sinners, which is now being mentioned amongst other potential awards contenders. It would seem that Jordan is still making serious moves, as he’s reportedly lining up another big franchise in the form of the big-screen Miami Vice reboot. His involvement in the film is exciting enough, but it would seem that another massive movie star is in talks to join the action flick. This would be a major pickup for the film, and I love this casting!
Per reports, Michael B. Jordan has been courted to play the role of Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs in Universal Pictures’ latest big-screen reimagining of the classic ‘80s TV series. The obvious question after that, of course, would be in regard to who’s playing Tubbs’ partner, James “Sonny” Crocket. Well, according to Variety, Austin Butler is now reportedly in negotiations to play the role of Sonny in the flick. According to the trade, neither Butler’s nor Jordan’s deals have been closed, as of this writing, but this is still an exciting bit of news.
