As reported by Deadline, Walton Goggins, known for his versatile performances, is the latest addition to the sprawling cast of Miami Vice '85. His participation required some schedule adjustments, as Goggins is currently busy with the production of Prime Video's hit series Fallout. In the upcoming film, Goggins is slated to portray one of the henchmen working for the drug lord character, a role that will be filled by John Leguizamo.

This new casting further solidifies the film's commitment to assembling a formidable ensemble. Goggins joins a growing list of notable actors, including Alden Ehrenreich, Whitney Peak, Camila Morrone, Andrew Schulz, Edi Gathegi, and Danny Ramirez. The sheer breadth of talent suggests that director Joseph Kosinski, known for his work on Top Gun: Maverick, is aiming for a cinematic experience rich with character and star power.

Walton Goggins has carved out a niche for himself playing complex, often morally ambiguous characters, making him a compelling choice for a crime drama. His career has seen a significant ascent, particularly since his standout role in Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight. More recently, his captivating performance as The Ghoul in Fallout and his anticipated appearance in the third season of The White Lotus have further showcased his range and ability to steal scenes, whether on the big or small screen.

The Miami Vice '85 project, penned by Dan Gilroy (Nightcrawler), is set to begin filming in November 2026. Audiences can anticipate a visually stunning experience, as the film is planned to be shot in IMAX. Universal Pictures has set a theatrical release date for May 17, 2028. With such a robust cast and an experienced creative team, the remake is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about productions in the coming years, promising to reintroduce the neon-soaked world of Miami's undercover detectives to a new generation of fans.

While the extensive cast might lead some to wonder about individual character development, Goggins' proven track record ensures that even in a supporting role, he is likely to make a significant impact. His inclusion only heightens the anticipation for what Joseph Kosinski and his team will deliver with this ambitious reimagining.
