Kosinski said, &#8220;Michael is someone I\u2019ve admired for a long time, [and] always wanted to work with him. Austin, I think, is proving himself as someone to watch. Again, I\u2019ve just have really admired his choices. If it ends up being those two, I\u2019d be very lucky.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">His comments come a few weeks after it was reported that Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler were in talks to join the remake. As per Deadline, the\u00a0<em>Elvis\u00a0<\/em>star and the\u00a0<em>Creed\u00a0<\/em>actor were in negotiations to play the roles of James Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs. Although there has been no official confirmation about their involvement in the project, fans and Kosinski would love to see the young superstars play the iconic duo.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"&lt;p&gt;Warner Bros&amp;period;&lt;\/p&gt;\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"535\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/Hwcuy8rRLQv4c83boXie0Q--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTUzNTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/tv_squad_449\/0cde24bb41da4ceec05b099b25da0a8e\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The original\u00a0<em>Miami Vice\u00a0<\/em>film featured Colin Farrell as Crockett, while Jamie Foxx portrayed Tubbs.
