The other four members of the Jackson 5 have been cast in the upcoming biopic about the King of Pop, Michael. Michael is set to release in the United States on April 18, 2025.
A press release states that the band members — Jermaine, Marlon, Tito, and Jackie Jackson — will each be played by two different actors as the characters age throughout the film. Younger Jermaine will be played by Jayden Harville, while the older version will be played by Jamal R. Henderson. Jaylen Lyndon Hunter will assume the role of younger Marlon, while older Marlon will be portrayed by Tre Horton. Younger Tito is being played by Judah Edwards with the elder version played by Rhyan Hill, and finally, younger Jackie will be portrayed by Nathaniel Logan McIntyre and by Joseph David-Jones in his later years.
“The truly epic nature of this film required a total of ten actors with the talent to portray the Jackson 5 through the years,” producer Graham King stated. “I’m thrilled to bring this extraordinary group of actors and performers to worldwide audiences in this film.”
What will Michael be about?
“Michael will bring audiences a riveting and honest portrayal of the brilliant yet complicated man who became the King of Pop,” reads Michael‘s description. “The film presents his triumphs and tragedies on an epic, cinematic scale — from his human side and personal struggles to his undeniable creative genius, exemplified by his most iconic performances. As never before, audiences will experience an inside look into one of the most influential, trailblazing artists the world has ever known.”
