The film is a remake of Billy Corben's 2006 documentary that follows the Miami drugs trade through the '70s and '80s.
DiCaprio will play pilot Mickey Munday with Wahlberg cast as drug kingpin Jon Roberts.
An insider revealed that DiCaprio "is excited about the opportunity to play the airplane pilot who travels with Mark's character to obtain kilos of cocaine from Pablo Escobar".
The pair have previously worked together on The Basketball Diaries and 2006's The Departed.
DiCaprio will produce a live-action version of anime classic Akira and a drama based on the Enron scandal.
