The first trailer of the film Michael, based on the life of the late singer Michael Jackson, has been released. After watching it, fans expressed hope that the film would be spectacular.
The film Michael covers Michael Jackson’s entire life, including his music career and other aspects of his journey.
The movie will not show Michael Jackson’s controversies or the allegations made against him; however, it will include the challenges he faced in his career.
Michael Jackson’s role in the film is played by his real-life nephew, Jaafar Jackson, marking his first major film appearance.
In the trailer, Jaafar is shown walking, talking, singing, and performing the moonwalk like Michael Jackson. His voice is soft, and his dance moves are accurate, though some viewers suggested that the makeup could be improved to make him look more like the late singer.
The trailer shows a young Michael Jackson singing under the producer’s guidance. In this short trailer, he is also seen dancing.
It is not yet clear whether the film has the official approval of the Jackson family. However, indications suggest that the family’s consent may be involved, as the trailer focuses only on showcasing the world’s greatest artist without highlighting his controversies.
Along with the trailer release, the film has been announced for release in April 2026, with Antoine Fuqua directing it.
