People saying Jafaar doesn’t look like Michael I don’t think ya’ll understand, the casting process wouldn’t have found ANYBODY closer. Jafaar is literally MJ’s blood relative, sharing similar height, build, and body structure. You’d have to literally resurrect 25 year old Wylie Draper to find anyone who could have more closely resembled Michael Jackson.

The main facial difference between Jafaar and Michael is the eyes, which is why the nose prosthetic looks slightly off. Its not the nose, which actually resembles MJ’s original nose, its that MJ had bigger eyes, but if you look at how they’ve got him looking in the Thriller/Bad era, the resemblance is almost uncanny and THATS the real challenge. Getting an actor who could resemble Michael through the “surgery era” where he went through not one, not two, but SIX rhinoplasties, had his hairline and eyebrows tattooed, and had a goddamn CLEFT put in his chin. Not to mention the conditions he couldn’t control like vitiligo and having to wear wigs and hair-plugs due to premature balding spurred by his horrific burning accident.

We’ve seen what it looks like when they get any ole actor to play MJ and throw white makeup and a wig on him. Flex Alexander looked TERRIBLE. They definitely did the right thing casting Jafaar.

I saw someone say its like an alternate dimension where Jermaine became the icon and I kinda cant unsee it.

Jafaar just looks more like his dad (obviously). Thats cool though cause no one can totally perfect Michael.

It definitely NEEDED the IMAX treatment! You can't have only regular screens showcasing the greatest entertainer in modern history. The music coming from speakers is gonna have the whole cinema dancing in their seats and singing. It's gonna be a concert experience as well as a movie.

I just wish the unfortunately mediocre and rushed Bob Marley movie would have had the same treatment.

And some of you dudes will complain about anything. :mjlol: Y'all will have a problem if 23 year old MJ came back and played himself. Who else you know could damn near replicate MJ's voice, mannerisms and unique dance moves better than his own BLOOD? I'll wait.

Of course this movie will do well, especially in black communities worldwide. If Sinners was a success, a movie about MJ will damn near make the billion mark (I'm calling it now and will quote this post when it happens).
