The first trailer of the film Michael, based on the life of American music legend Michael Jackson, has been released, quickly becoming a major topic of discussion on social media and among film enthusiasts.
Fans have responded enthusiastically after watching the trailer, expressing optimism that the biopic will present the King of Pop’s career in a powerful and engaging way. The film is scheduled for release in cinemas on April 14.
According to the filmmakers, the project brings together different phases of Michael Jackson’s life, including his musical journey, rise to global fame, and the professional challenges he faced along the way. The biopic largely avoids focusing on the controversies and allegations that surrounded him for years, instead highlighting his artistic struggle and the highs and lows of his career.
Michael Jackson is portrayed by his real-life nephew, Jaafar Jackson, who makes his major film debut with this role. The trailer shows him capturing the late singer’s signature walk, speech, singing style, and iconic moonwalk. His vocal tone and precise dance moves have impressed many viewers, though some have suggested that makeup could have made him resemble Jackson even more closely.
Several scenes in the trailer depict a young Michael Jackson performing under the guidance of a producer. Despite its short runtime, the trailer also offers glimpses of his unique dance moves and commanding stage presence.
Overall, the trailer has heightened anticipation among fans, with audiences now eagerly awaiting the film’s release later this April.
