Jaafar Jackson Says “Michael” Sequel Will Go Deeper Into A$$ault Allegations-Admits His Uncle’s Voice ‘Not Being Heard’ Affected The Family

Jaafar Jackson hopes the next chapter of “Michael” will dig deeper into one of the most controversial periods of his uncle’s life.

The 30-year-old actor, who portrays Michael Jackson in the hit biopic, told GQ Middle East that a planned sequel could explore the child s*x ab*se allegations that followed the late singer beginning in the 1990s.

“I think the second film will give even more insight from his point of view, because at the end of the day, [the allegations] are always from someone else’s,” Jaafar said.

“It’s someone else’s story. It’s someone else’s idea of what it is, and it’s mainly driven by an agenda,” he continued. “And that’s really the issue we’ve been having as a family — not having Michael’s voice being heard.”

Jaafar also reflected on Michael’s character during his later years.

“He never changed that purity, that sense of always wanting to find the good in other people,” he said, adding, “he never stopped treating people with kindness.”

Calling his uncle “broken,” Jaafar added, “his heart still stayed the same… I hope that this is felt in the second movie.”

Lionsgate is reportedly targeting production for late 2026 or early 2027.
