Michael will explore “the complicated man who became the King of Pop,” Lionsgate said in a statement. The film will include “all aspects of his life and his most noteworthy performances that set him on the path to becoming an icon in the musical world,” it said. “It was clear that he is the only person to take on this role,” Mr. King said in a news release, adding that he “cannot wait for the world to see him on the big screen as Michael Jackson.”
The 2019 documentary followed the accounts of Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who claimed they were befriended by Jackson and were abused by him from ages seven and 10, respectively, in the early 1990s. In 2020, a California appeals court ruled that the two men could pursue their claims through a lawsuit. The Jackson family denied those accusations and the Michael Jackson estate won its appeal that year.
