Michael Jackson Biopic Cast names unveiled.

The upcoming Michael Jackson biopic has cast the Jackson 5.

Lionsgate and Universal Pictures have announced that eight actors will portray members of the Jackson 5, which is slated for release in April 2025.

The biopic’s producer Graham King said: “The truly epic nature of this film required a total of 10 actors with the talent to portray the Jackson 5 through the years. I’m thrilled to bring this extraordinary group of actors and performers to worldwide audiences in this film.”

Other cast members include Colman Domingo and Nia Long as Jackson’s parents Joe and Katherine as well as Miles Teller as the star’s attorney John Branca.

Antoine has insisted that the picture will contain “the good, bad and the ugly” of Jackson’s life and career which saw him rise from child stardom with the Jackson 5 to become the biggest pop star in the world before his tragic death aged 50 in 2009.
