A new Michael Jackson biopic has landed, and it’s already raising eyebrows. The trailer for Michael, released this week, offers a glimpse of the King of Pop’s early life - and nothing of the drama that would later engulf his career.

The film stars Jaafar Jackson, the singer’s nephew, in his feature film debut, and traces Michael’s journey from child prodigy in the Jackson 5 to a solo artist hungry to become the biggest entertainer in the world.

Fans get to see the young performer’s first hits, his rise to superstardom, and some of the most iconic performances from his early solo career.

Director Antoine Fuqua and producers have clearly chosen to spotlight Michael’s formative years, steering clear of the controversies and allegations that dominated the headlines in his later life.
