# Who will be cast in the next Miami Vice? Before 2035 Updated: April 10, 2026 Category: Entertainment Tags: Movies Television HTML: /markets/entertainment/movies/who-will-be-cast-in-the-next-miami-vice/ ## Short Answer **Key takeaway.** Both the **model** and the **market** expect Glen Powell to be cast in the next Miami Vice, with no compelling evidence of mispricing. ## Key Claims (January 2026) **- - Joseph Kosinski, the director, may favor past collaborators for casting.** - Ryan Reynolds demonstrates high audience appeal for R-rated action films. - Ryan Gosling shows clear production availability for 2026-2027 filming dates. - Production prioritizes strong actor chemistry reads for lead roles. - The Miami Vice reboot project is in an advanced stage of development. - The **market** experienced notable short-term volatility in recent trading periods. ### Why This Matters (GEO) - AI agents extract claims, not arguments. - Improves citation probability in summaries and answer cards. - Enables fact stitching across multiple sources. ## Executive Verdict **Key takeaway.** At 19c, the **market** is 12pp above the **7%** **model**, with actors only reportedly 'considered' for roles. ### Who Wins and Why | Outcome | Market | Model | Why | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Glen Powell | 45.0% | 35.6% | His recent success in action films and charismatic persona make him a strong contender. | | Ryan Gosling | 19.0% | 7.0% | An established leading man, he brings a cool and intense presence suitable for the role. | | Pedro Pascal | 15.0% | 6.9% | His widespread popularity and versatility could bring a fresh take to the iconic character. | ## Model vs Market | Outcome | Market Probability | Octagon Model Probability | | --- | --- | --- | | Glen Powell | 45.0% | 35.6% | | Ryan Gosling | 19.0% | 7.0% | | Pedro Pascal | 15.0% | 6.9% | | Tom Hardy | 2.0% | 0.7% | | Taylor Kitsch | 11.0% | 4.2% | | Richard Madden | 2.0% | 0.7% | | Miles Teller | 12.0% | 5.1% | | Jake Gyllenhaal | 11.0% | 4.6% | | Oscar Isaac | 3.0% | 1.0% | | Garrett Hedlund | 11.0% | 4.6% | - Expiration: January 1, 2035 ## Market Behavior & Price Dynamics This market is characterized by a sideways, range-bound trend, with the probability of this specific casting outcome fluctuating between 14.0% and 51.0% since its inception. The current price of 19.0% is below the starting price of 23.0%, indicating a slight negative drift but no definitive long-term trend. The most notable activity occurred in early April 2026, with a series of sharp, volatile movements. The price spiked from 14.0% to 23.0% on April 1st, then dropped to 15.0% on April 5th, only to spike again to 24.0% the following day. Given the lack of available public news or context, the direct causes for this rapid volatility are unclear and likely driven by trader speculation or reactions to non-public information. The trading volume for this market is relatively low, with only 188 contracts traded in total. This low liquidity suggests that the significant price swings in early April were likely caused by a small number of trades and do not necessarily represent a broad shift in market consensus. Key price levels have been established by recent activity; there appears to be a support level around the 14.0% - 15.0% range and a short-term resistance area at 23.0% - 24.0%. The market is currently trading below this resistance zone, showing a lack of upward momentum. Overall, market sentiment appears highly uncertain and speculative. The sideways trend, coupled with low trading volume, indicates a lack of conviction from traders. The current 19.0% probability suggests that the market assigns a low likelihood to this casting choice. The recent volatility demonstrates that the market is sensitive and can be easily moved, but without a significant news catalyst, it has failed to establish a clear directional trend, reverting instead to its established trading range. ## Significant Price Movements ### Outcome: Jake Gyllenhaal #### 📈 April 10, 2026: 10.0pp spike Price increased from 1.0% to 11.0% **What happened:** No supporting research available for this anomaly. #### 📉 April 08, 2026: 10.0pp drop Price decreased from 11.0% to 1.0% **What happened:** No supporting research available for this anomaly. ### Outcome: Ryan Gosling #### 📈 April 06, 2026: 9.0pp spike Price increased from 15.0% to 24.0% **What happened:** No supporting research available for this anomaly. #### 📉 April 05, 2026: 8.0pp drop Price decreased from 23.0% to 15.0% **What happened:** No supporting research available for this anomaly. #### 📈 April 01, 2026: 9.0pp spike Price increased from 14.0% to 23.0% **What happened:** No supporting research available for this anomaly. ## Contract Snapshot This market resolves to "Yes" if Glen Powell is cast in the next "Miami Vice" before January 1, 2035. If he is not cast by this date, the market resolves to "No." Resolution is based on reports from a list of specified major news and entertainment outlets, and the market will close early if the casting event occurs. The market opened on July 22, 2025, and will close no later than January 1, 2035, at 10:00 AM EST, with payouts projected 30 minutes after closing. ## Market Discussion The market indicates Glen Powell is the current front-runner with a 45% chance of being cast as Sonny Crockett in the next Miami Vice. However, community discussion primarily revolves around suggesting additional actors for the role. Frequent suggestions include Austin Butler and Michael B. Jordan, with Tom Cruise also mentioned due to a potential director connection. ## Market Data | Contract | Yes Bid | Yes Ask | Last Price | Volume | Open Interest | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Garrett Hedlund | 1% | 11% | 11% | $66 | $2 | | Glen Powell | 37% | 47% | 45% | $5,450 | $2,160 | | Jake Gyllenhaal | 1% | 11% | 11% | $173 | $50 | | Miles Teller | 2% | 12% | 12% | $260 | $108 | | Oscar Isaac | 1% | 11% | 3% | $118 | $20 | | Pedro Pascal | 5% | 15% | 15% | $726 | $401 | | Richard Madden | 2% | 12% | 2% | $410 | $101 | | Ryan Gosling | 20% | 30% | 19% | $1,887 | $1,043 | | Taylor Kitsch | 1% | 11% | 11% | $431 | $42 | | Tom Hardy | 0% | 12% | 2% | $442 | $93 | ## Which Actors Have Professional Relationships with Joseph Kosinski for Miami Vice? Miami Vice (2027) Director | Joseph Kosinski [[^]](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36731244/) | Actor with Multiple Kosinski Collaborations | Tom Cruise (Top Gun: Maverick, Oblivion) [[^]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kosinski) | Actor with One Kosinski Collaboration | Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick) [[^]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kosinski) | **Joseph Kosinski is confirmed to direct the upcoming *Miami Vice (2027)* film [[^]](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36731244/)** Joseph Kosinski is confirmed to direct the upcoming *Miami Vice (2027)* film [[^]](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36731244/). Among the actors linked to this project, including Glen Powell, Michael B. Jordan, Tom Cruise, and Taylor Kitsch, only Tom Cruise and Glen Powell share a verifiable history of collaboration with Kosinski [[^]](https://www.cbr.com/miami-vice-reboot-glen-powell-michael-b-jordan-casting-report/). Michael B. Jordan is reportedly under consideration for a role, and Taylor Kitsch's involvement remains speculative, with no prior collaborations with Kosinski indicated in the research [[^]](https://www.cbr.com/miami-vice-reboot-glen-powell-michael-b-jordan-casting-report/). Tom Cruise possesses the strongest professional relationship with director Joseph Kosinski. He has collaborated with Kosinski on two past films: *Top Gun: Maverick (2022)* and *Oblivion (2013)* [[^]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kosinski). Glen Powell also shares a significant professional history with Kosinski, having worked together on *Top Gun: Maverick (2022)*, where he portrayed the character Hangman [[^]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kosinski). Cruise's multiple film collaborations indicate a more extensive working relationship with the director compared to other potential cast members [[^]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kosinski). ## Which actor has the highest appeal for R-rated action films? Most Bankable Actor | Ryan Reynolds [[^]](https://www.gqcanada.co/blog/ryan-reynolds-how-the-canadian-star-became-hollywoods-most-bankable-actor) | R-rated Film Global Box Office | $1.3 billion (Deadpool & Wolverine) [[^]](https://www.cbr.com/ryan-reynolds-deadpool-and-wolveine-made-movie-history/) | Estimated Net Worth | Exceeds $350 million [[^]](https://wealthinsightwatch.com/highest-paid-hollywood-actors-2026/) | **Ryan Reynolds is consistently Hollywood's most bankable and financially successful actor** Ryan Reynolds is consistently Hollywood's most bankable and financially successful actor. He is frequently identified as Hollywood's most bankable actor, a sentiment echoed by various publications, which highlights his consistent success and strong audience appeal for studios [[^]](https://www.gqcanada.co/blog/ryan-reynolds-how-the-canadian-star-became-hollywoods-most-bankable-actor). Financially, Reynolds is ranked among the highest-paid actors, boasting a net worth exceeding **$350** million, underscoring his significant **market** value and business acumen beyond acting [[^]](https://wealthinsightwatch.com/highest-paid-hollywood-actors-2026/). Reynolds's R-rated action film success demonstrates immense international appeal. His performance in Deadpool & Wolverine serves as a key indicator for his compelling suitability for a male-driven, R-rated action film. This R-rated film achieved a global box office of **$1.3** billion, a rare accomplishment that made Hollywood history [[^]](https://www.cbr.com/ryan-reynolds-deadpool-and-wolveine-made-movie-history/). This monumental success firmly establishes his international appeal and capability to lead high-grossing R-rated action projects, making him a highly attractive asset for major studios like Universal seeking robust financial returns and global audience engagement. ## Which Actor Shows Clearest Availability for 2026-2027 Production? Ryan Gosling Availability | Clearest for 2026-2027; no explicit dated commitments found [[^]](https://thecinemaholic.com/all-upcoming-oscar-isaac-movies-and-tv-shows/) | Oscar Isaac Potential Conflict | HBO miniseries 'The King of Oil' (2025-2026 project) [[^]](https://thecinemaholic.com/all-upcoming-oscar-isaac-movies-and-tv-shows/) | Other Actors' Availability | Insufficient data for Glen Powell, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hardy [[^]](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1412974) | **Based on available production schedules, Ryan Gosling appears to have the clearest availability** Based on available production schedules, Ryan Gosling appears to have the clearest availability. Of the top five favored actors, Ryan Gosling has the most conflict-free availability window for a 4-6 month shoot in the likely 2026-2027 production timeframe. In contrast, Oscar Isaac presents potential scheduling conflicts due to a significant miniseries commitment. For Glen Powell, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Tom Hardy, the provided research does not contain specific, dated production schedules to assess their availability during the target period [[^]](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1412974). Ryan Gosling's current schedule indicates no explicit future conflicts for 2026-2027. His most recent major film, 'The Fall Guy,' was released in 2024 [[^]](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0331516/fullcredits), signifying its production concluded prior to that year. While Gosling is attached to a new crime comedy titled 'Tough Guys,' the available research does not provide any specific production timeline for this project [[^]](https://www.imdb.com/news/ni65387240/). Consequently, based solely on the provided sources, there are no explicit, dated commitments that would conflict with a 4-6 month production window in the target 2026-2027 timeframe. Oscar Isaac, however, has several projects that could present scheduling conflicts. His role in 'Frankenstein' is confirmed for a 2025 release [[^]](https://thecinemaholic.com/all-upcoming-oscar-isaac-movies-and-tv-shows/), suggesting filming would have occurred in 2024 or early 2025. More significantly, he is attached to 'The King of Oil,' an HBO miniseries described as a "2025-2026 project" [[^]](https://thecinemaholic.com/all-upcoming-oscar-isaac-movies-and-tv-shows/). Given that a miniseries typically involves a substantial time commitment, this project could directly overlap with or immediately precede the desired 2026-2027 production timeframe, potentially creating a conflict for a 4-6 month shoot. ## Are 'Miami Vice' Lead Roles Prioritizing Chemistry Reads? Potential Lead Actor 1 | Michael B. Jordan (eyeing significant role) [[^]](https://www.theinsneider.com/p/paul-thomas-anderson-rewrote-what-happens-night-leonardo-dicaprio-michael-b-jordan-miami-vice-salary) | Potential Lead Actor 2 Candidates | Austin Butler [[^]](https://www.theinsneider.com/p/hes-just-not-that-into-you-reboot-new-line-miami-vice-austin-butler-michael-b-jordan), Glen Powell [[^]](https://www.cbr.com/miami-vice-reboot-glen-powell-michael-b-jordan-casting-report/) | Chemistry Reads Reported | No explicit reports of chemistry reads [[^]](https://www.theinsneider.com/p/paul-thomas-anderson-rewrote-what-happens-night-leonardo-dicaprio-michael-b-jordan-miami-vice-salary) | **Insider reports detail potential actor pairings for the 'Miami Vice' reboot** Insider reports detail potential actor pairings for the 'Miami Vice' reboot. Michael B. Jordan is reportedly being considered for a significant role in the upcoming 'Miami Vice' project [[^]](https://www.theinsneider.com/p/paul-thomas-anderson-rewrote-what-happens-night-leonardo-dicaprio-michael-b-jordan-miami-vice-salary). Other actors, including Austin Butler [[^]](https://www.theinsneider.com/p/hes-just-not-that-into-you-reboot-new-line-miami-vice-austin-butler-michael-b-jordan) and Glen Powell [[^]](https://www.cbr.com/miami-vice-reboot-glen-powell-michael-b-jordan-casting-report/), have been cited as potential candidates to star alongside Jordan for the lead detective roles of Sonny Crockett or Ricardo Tubbs [[^]](https://www.theinsneider.com/p/paul-thomas-anderson-rewrote-what-happens-night-leonardo-dicaprio-michael-b-jordan-miami-vice-salary). These discussions suggest the studio is exploring specific combinations of actors for the film. Reports do not confirm "chemistry reads" for the 'Miami Vice' project. Despite the discussions around potential actor combinations, prominent Hollywood reporters have not explicitly mentioned "chemistry reads" as part of the casting process for the 'Miami Vice' project [[^]](https://www.theinsneider.com/p/paul-thomas-anderson-rewrote-what-happens-night-leonardo-dicaprio-michael-b-jordan-miami-vice-salary). Consequently, available insider information does not directly indicate that the studio is prioritizing the on-screen dynamic between two leads above individual star power through the use of chemistry reads. The existing reports concentrate on potential casting combinations rather than the specific evaluation methods employed. ## Is the Miami Vice Reboot Project Moving Forward? Director | Joseph Kosinski [[^]](https://www.imdb.com/news/ni65255865/) | Release Date | August 6, 2027 [[^]](https://www.imdb.com/news/ni65480556/) | Filming Start | June [[^]](https://thenollywoodreporter.com/news/joseph-kosinskis-miami-vice-reboot-begins-filming-in-june/) | **The "Miami Vice" project is in an advanced stage of development** The "Miami Vice" project is in an advanced stage of development. Joseph Kosinski, known for his work on "Top Gun: Maverick," is formally attached as the director [[^]](https://www.imdb.com/news/ni65255865/). On the writing front, Dan Gilroy is currently rewriting an initial script penned by Eric Warren Singer [[^]](https://www.imdb.com/news/ni65255865/). The project has received a studio greenlight and a release date. Universal Pictures is backing the film, which has a confirmed theatrical release date of August 6, 2027 [[^]](https://www.imdb.com/news/ni65480556/). Further solidifying its development status, reports indicate that principal photography is scheduled to commence in June [[^]](https://thenollywoodreporter.com/news/joseph-kosinskis-miami-vice-reboot-begins-filming-in-june/). The film is also confirmed to be a reboot set in the 1980s, reflecting the original series' era [[^]](https://powerboat.news/miami-vice-reboot-returns-to-1980s-but-which-boats-will-feature/). These steps pave the way for formal casting offers. With a director formally attached, a script in active development, a confirmed studio greenlight, a set release date, and an impending filming start, the necessary prerequisite steps are indeed in place for formal casting offers to be made [[^]](https://www.imdb.com/news/ni65255865/). ## What Could Change the Odds **Key takeaway.** Catalyst analysis unavailable. ## Key Dates & Catalysts - **Expiration:** January 01, 2035 - **Closes:** January 01, 2035 ## Decision-Flipping Events - Catalyst analysis unavailable. ## Related Research Reports - [GTA 6 release date?](/markets/entertainment/video-games/gta-6-release-date/) - [Who will be the next James Bond?](/markets/entertainment/movies/who-will-be-the-next-james-bond/) - [Emmy Award for Drama Actress](/markets/entertainment/awards/emmy-award-for-drama-actress/) - [2026 Grammy nominations for Album of the Year?](/markets/entertainment/awards/2026-grammy-nominations-for-album-of-the-year/) ## Historical Resolutions No historical resolution data available for this series. ## Disclaimer This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, legal, or trading advice.
