Austin Butler Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Fans of Austin Butler, you will want to remember the last few days for what could be a pivotal chapter in his career. The biggest headline on everyone's feed is that Austin Butler is reportedly in advanced talks to star in the new Miami Vice remake, set to film in mid-2026 and release in August 2027. If confirmed, Butler would take on the iconic role of James Sonny Crockett, stepping into shoes once filled by Don Johnson and Colin Farrell. Industry sources like Deadline and Variety as cited via reports from Blunt Magazine say he’d play opposite Michael B. Jordan as Ricardo Tubbs, with Joseph Kosinski—the same director behind Top Gun Maverick—set to direct. This reboot aims to bring back the swagger and style of the original 80s series and could mark Butler’s biggest franchise move since Elvis blazed the box office. The script has been drafted by Tony Gilroy, known for his work on the Andor series and the Bourne films, hinting at serious dramatic weight and elevated storytelling.
In the entertainment press circuit, Elizabeth Stanton at CBS Austin elaborates on Butler’s negotiations, with the casting not yet finalized as of this weekend, though the project continues to gather buzz daily. Longtime fans of the original Miami Vice are already speculating on how Butler will approach Crockett’s mix of cool and moral turmoil, especially given the cultural relevance the reboot aims to restore.
On the creative front, Austin Butler has not been shy about engaging with fellow talent. Most recently, Interview Magazine’s fall cover features Jeremy Allen White in a conversation with Butler himself. Their exchange, highlighted on White’s official social media and the magazine’s Instagram, dives deep into the “strange vertigo of chasing immortality”—a meta-reflection as Butler’s own Hollywood visibility keeps skyrocketing.
As always, social media churns with reactions, fan art, and even retro Crockett memes, though as of the last 24 hours, Butler has kept his personal feeds focused on gratitude for supporters and celebrating fellow creators. So far, there have been no confirmed brand endorsements or new business ventures linked to Butler this week, the focus is squarely on acting and the potentially career-defining Miami Vice opportunity.
There are no substantiated reports of recent public appearances or sightings, with Butler staying intentionally low profile as negotiations progress. Rumors swirl, but at this stage, only verified entertainment outlets have weight.
