“I’m excited to be part of a film that explores both the complicated soul of the legendary Michael Jackson and his impact on music and culture as a global icon”. 

“Not only am I fortunate to have a rich, complex, and flawed character to play as Joe Jackson, but I also have a front row seat to the incredible transformation of Jaafar (Jackson, who plays Michael in the film),” Domingo told Variety following the announcement of his casting.

The film brings his triumphs and tragedies on an epic scale — from his human side and personal struggles to his undeniable genius creative talent.”

Michael’s release date is scheduled for April 18, 2025.
