Miami Vice 85 will cast Walton Goggins as a villain, Deadline reports. Goggins, known for his roles in Fallout and The White Lotus, will embody a henchman/assassin serving John Leguizamo's cartel king character. Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler will portray Ricardo Tubbs and Sonny Crockett, the lead protagonists. The film, a period reboot of the TV series, is not a sequel to Michael Mann's adaptation or an extension of the original source material.
