Social media is buzzing over Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo‘s mind-blowing transformation into the notorious Joe Jackson in a gorgeous reveal at the middle of the extremely anticipated new trailer for Michael.
In the now-viral first look, Domingo disappears under extraordinary prosthetics and make-up to change into the famed Jackson patriarch whose controversial techniques helped his son ascend into his very own realm of superstardom.
Check out the trailer below:
Directed by Antoine Fuqua—the second highest grossing Black director of all-time, Michael stars MJ’s nephew Jaafar Jackson (Jermaine’s son) as the King of Pop in the cinematic portrayal of the life and legacy of one of the most influential artists in the historical past of eternally.
Bustling with a particular sort of nostalgia, the movie “tells the story of Michael Jackson’s life beyond the music, tracing his journey from the discovery of his extraordinary talent as the lead of the Jackson Five, to the visionary artist whose creative ambition fueled a relentless pursuit to become the biggest entertainer in the world,” per the official synopsis.

Delving into his off-stage life between some of the most iconic performances from his early solo profession, the movie offers audiences a front-row seat to Michael Jackson as never seen before.

Naturally, social media erupted with starry-eyed reactions to the long-awaited biopic which trended worldwide in the midst of Grammy evening hysteria.
At one level, the movie was rumored to be FOUR HOURS long before later being teased as a potential 2-part event.
When requested by an analyst about half two of the movie, Lionsgate Motion Picture Chair Adam Fogelson teased that “more Michael” might be announced proper after the first movie is launched, per World of Reel.
“…we’ve had the great pleasure of seeing the director’s cut of the first movie, and it’s distinctive,” he said on a current earnings call.
“While we’re not yet ready to confirm plans for a second film, I can tell you that the creative team is hard at work making sure that we’re in a position to deliver more Michael soon after we release the first film.”
