According to Deadline, Jordan is in early talks to play the role of the iconic detective in what could be one of the studio’s biggest crime thrillers on the horizon.
While it’s still early days and no deal has been finalized, sources say Jordan is “engaging and interested” after the project’s schedule was moved up to allow him to wrap up work on his next directorial endeavor, The Thomas Crown case. The plan is to shoot Miami Vice later in 2026, setting the release date for August 6, 2027.

Universal has yet to make any official comments, but insiders say the studio is confident in the creative team and direction of the film.
The new Miami Vice will reinvent the world of mid-1980s Miami, immersing itself in the glamour, excess and corruption that defined the era. Inspired by the original NBC series that ran from 1984 to 1989, this film will revisit the stylish and dangerous streets that helped shape pop culture.

According to insiders, the official offer for Jordan arrived last week after the studio changed the production dates. Jordan reportedly responded strongly to Dan Gilroy’s latest rewrite, which appears to have pushed the talks into serious territory.
As for who might play Tubbs’ partner Sonny Crockett, the role remains open. Universal is reportedly looking to secure Jordan’s co-star soon to bring the duo back for a new generation.
Miami Vice could deliver the kind of sleek, dynamic, and stylish action that both Kosinski and the franchise are known for.
