Summary
- Actors Colman Domingo and Nia Long defend the biopic 'Michael'.
- The film covers Michael Jackson's life from the 1960s to 1988.
- Sequel possibilities are teased to address later life events.
Actors Colman Domingo and Nia Long, portraying Joe and Katherine Jackson respectively, have responded to criticism that the new biopic 'Michael' whitewashes aspects of the singer's life.
The film, directed by Antoine Fuqua, has faced backlash for omitting the sexual abuse allegations that emerged in the latter part of Michael Jackson's life. Domingo clarified that the movie's timeline spans from the 1960s to 1988, predating the initial allegations which surfaced around 2005. He emphasized the film's focus on the "makings of Michael" and his journey to find his artistic voice.
