Oman today_ A film titled Michael, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson—who shares a close family relation with Michael Jackson—is scheduled for release on April 24, 2026.
This cinematic work aims to depict Michael Jackson’s professional journey, from his early days with the Jackson 5 to the peak of his career with the release of albums such as Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad. The film adopts a musical tone with a generally positive perspective.
