The story of pop superstar Michael Jackson -- from his extraordinary early days in the Jackson 5 to the visionary artist whose creative ambition fuels a relentless pursuit to become the biggest entertainer in the world. So the new #Michael film is a celebration of Michael Jackson ... his talent, his rise, and the cultural impact that made him one of the most influential artists ever. It focuses on where his story begins: the Jackson 5, the discovery of his gift, and the early solo years that changed music forever. Jaafar Jackson ( Michael's nephew son of Jermaine Jackson) steps into the role, with a cast that includes Nia Long, Laura Harrier, Juliano Krue Valdi, plus Miles Teller and Colman Domingo. It’s directed by Antoine Fuqua and produced by Graham King alongside estate representatives. It feels like this is about celebrating the genius and the legacy, not diving into the trials, tribulations, and accusations that came later in his career. And it’s worth noting that Paris Jackson has publicly said she doesn’t support the film and had no involvement in it, despite suggestions otherwise, after changes he asked to be made were not. It seems as though she was a part of it at the start. So it seems clear: Michael is leaning into the music, the magic, and the myth — framing his story as inspiration and impact. Whether that feels complete will probably depend on who’s watching. Will you be buying a ticket?? M x Jaafar Jackson steps into the legendary shoes of Michael Jackson and recreates the iconic Thriller moment in the upcoming MICHAEL (2026) biopic. The red jacket, the zombie choreography, the vibe… everything feels nostalgic yet fresh.
