Jaafar Jackson Talks About Michael Jackson Movie Sequels

JAKARTA - Jaafar Jackson, nephew and actor associated with the film *Michael*, shared a spoiler about the upcoming sequel. The second film will explore several personal challenges Michael Jackson faced in the 1990s. Though he did not contribute to the script, Jackson expressed hope that the sequel would allow Michael’s voice to be heard by the public. He stated, "This is someone else’s story. It’s someone else’s idea of it, and it was mainly made because of an agenda. That’s an issue we face as a family—Michael’s voice is not heard. I think it’s very important, especially in the last few years." Jackson also noted that the first film focuses on Michael’s career from its early stages until his rise to fame. He hopes the sequel will delve beyond his musical success, portraying him as a human being. "The first film shows Michael from the beginning, so you get a picture of who he was before he became a global icon. This is the first time we truly understand him as a human being because, ultimately, this is his legacy before he passed away." Jackson emphasized Michael’s enduring purity and kindness, stating, "He never stopped believing in goodness, even when he was hurt. His heart remained pure, and he always sought the good in others. Whatever people said about him, he never stopped treating others with kindness." The biopic *Michael*, which grossed over $1 billion at the box office, chronicles his journey until 1987. Jackson concluded by expressing hope that the sequel will capture Michael’s inner strength and humanity, saying, "He never stopped believing in goodness, even when he was hurt. His heart remains mine."
