- The Michael movie will be released on April 24, 2026, in theaters.
- Michael Jackson’s nephew, Jaafar, plays the titular role in the film.
- It has been produced by Lionsgate Studios and directed by Antoine Fuqua.
A Michael Jackson biopic was initially announced in 2022, and since then, fans have awaited the first glimpse of it. Well, the trailer dropped a couple of days ago and has already surpassed everyone’s expectations. Michael Jackson has been the biggest pop star ever, so without a doubt, the film will surely be the biggest musical that Hollywood has blessed us with. The biggest question on fans’ minds is who is playing Michael Jackson in the movie. Well, here’s all everyone needs to know.
Meet Jaafar Jackson, Michael’s Blood Relative
Michael Jackson’s real-life nephew, Jaafar Jackson , has been given the chance to portray Michael Jackson in the movie. This is the primary reason for the film being so special. Unlike other biopics, Michael doesn’t see an actor getting heavy makeup to portray the character. Jaafar carries Michael’s DNA, so without any doubt, he is the most suitable choice for this role.
Jaafar was born in 1996 to Jermaine Jackson, Michael’s brother, in Los Angeles. He is a 29-year-old American singer and dancer. He has released his own music, and now, he is all set to show the world that he can act, too. “Michael” will be his debut film, in which he will not only act, but will also sing and dance like his uncle. So, basically, he doesn’t only match his uncle in appearance but also in every aspect.
Michael has been produced by Lionsgate Studios and directed by Antoine Fuqua , one of the most renowned filmmakers in Hollywood. He is popularly recognized for giving the industry some of the intense and character-driven stories, including The Magnificent Seven, The Equalizer trilogy, King Arthur, and more.
The film will be released in the theatres on April 24, 2026 . So, if you’re a Michael Jackson fan, you should not miss out on this masterpiece.
