Ramirez, who has been seen in films like ”Top Gun: Maverick” and ”Captain America: Brave new world”, will both produce and play the lead role in the film, writes Deadline.
He and colleague Tom Culliver are based on the novel by Armitage Trail from 1929, which has been filmed several times. The most well-known version is Brian De Palma's ”Scarface” from 1983, with Al Pacino in the lead role.
Of course, there is the legacy of Pacino in the 80s and the original film from 1932, but I think it's time for a modernization. And having someone like Danny in the lead role is really exciting, says Culliver.
Ramirez says that he will use his Colombian and Mexican roots in the portrayal of "Tony" Montana and his narcotics empire in Miami's underworld.
