This is it.
Indeed, Lionsgate released the first teaser for Michael starring Michael Jackson’s nephew Jaafar Jackson Nov. 6, who is the spitting image of his late uncle.
Jaafar does a complete transformation in clips of Michael including ones of him taking the stage for fans, accepting his Grammys and doing his signature Moon Walk while Quincy Jones (Kendrick Sampson) gives him a peptalk from the studio.
Finally, Michael walks up to the microphone in the recording booth and asks, “Q, can you lower the lights for me, please?” before flashing his signature grin and laugh.
The teaser—set to a mashup of Michael’s hits “Wanna be Startin’ Something,” “Beat It” and “Human Nature”—ends with clips from various eras of the singer’s life from childhood, to filming the “Thriller” music video and one final iconic dance scene.
The trailer earned praise from Michael’s son Prince Jackson, who celebrated his cousin’s performance.
“Excited for the world to see this,” Prince wrote alongside a clip of the trailer on Instagram Nov. 6. “So proud of everyone involved in this but none more than my cousin @jaafarjackson. The world’s not ready for you cuz.”
