The first look at Jaafar was announced by GK Films in January 2023 and awed fans who noted how identical he looked to his uncle. With the filming finally wrapped up, many fans are lauding the potential for the film to be great.

What we know about the Michael Jackson biopic so far
Buzz surrounding the biopic began early in 2023 when Antoine Fuqua first announced that he would be directing the film. The director is known for directing the popular Equalizer series.
Fuqua said the following about the biopic in an exclusive interview on Good Morning America:
"He was a great artist. And, he was human. So, we're gonna show the good, bad, and the ugly... [We'll] just tell Michael based on the facts that I have. Me and Graham King, the producer who did Bohemian Rhapsody, we're going to tell the facts as we know it, and it's for the audience to make a decision how they feel about Michael, but we're going to tell the facts as we know it."
Michael will also discuss the important events in the singer's life, such as the release of his record-breaking albums, global concert tours, and the legal difficulties he was involved in during the latter half of his career.
The ensemble cast for the film includes Colman Domingo, Nia Long, and Miles Teller. Juliano Krue Valdi will play a younger version of Michael Jackson, as witnessed when he sang with his siblings in his youth (as part of the famous Jackson Five).
Michael is scheduled to be released across theaters on April 18, 2025.
