Universal Pictures is developing Miami Vice ’85, a new original take on the classic 1980s television series Miami Vice, and the cast is expanding. Deadline reports that Alden Ehrenreich is set to join the project alongside Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler.
ComingSoon.net likewise reports that Ehrenreich has joined the cast, citing Deadline as the source of the update. Both outlets frame the film as a cop drama with an original storyline rather than a direct remake of the TV series. The articles also tie the casting news to Ehrenreich’s recent career milestone, noting his first Tony win in June.
While the two sources align on the key casting and project details, they differ mainly in emphasis: Deadline leads with Ehrenreich’s broader career context and the exclusivity of the announcement, while ComingSoon.net focuses on positioning the addition as a notable “MCU star” cast update. Neither source provides plot specifics or additional cast members beyond the names cited.
