Universal releases the first look at “Miami Vice ’85,” its reboot of the 1980s TV detective series. Multiple outlets report that the studio debuts images featuring Austin Butler as Detective James “Sonny” Crockett and Michael B. Jordan as Detective Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs. Coverage also notes that the first-look release aligns with the film starting production, with additional set photos circulating soon after the initial reveal.
Joseph Kosinski (“Top Gun: Maverick”) is directing, and the film is described as a remake of the original series that ran from 1984 to 1989. Outlets differ slightly in emphasis—some focus on the actors’ character details and outfits in the images, while others foreground the reboot’s high-profile creative team and its connection to Kosinski’s prior work. Several reports mention that the first-look images appear through social media posts connected to the film’s marketing, and that follow-up set imagery shows the characters during filming.
