Michael Jackson Biopic Dream Team?

We all know a michael jackson biopic  could be huge. Bigger then bohemian rhapsody, judy, chicago, ect.
So who would you want to direct, score, act in it and stuff?

I was feeling a Steven Spielberg or Steve Mcqueen as director with Kelvin Harrison jr as michael.

Thoughts, Hbu?

No one should even consider doing a biopic of this guy. There’s no way anyone could do it faithfully or respectfully (to his family, children, or victims, which some people will say don’t even exist).

The first and only actor that should be considered.

Bruno Mars.

He looks so much like younger MJ, he can sing, he can dance. I think he can do it!

people thinking a Filipino Puerto Rican Jewish guy like Bruno Mars should play Michael Jackson is also a reason it should never happen, at least for a couple hundred years.

Well, he isn’t white either.

Robert Downey, Jr. wasn’t black either, but he sold it in Tropic Thunder.

Are you braindead? Michael Jackson is a Black man that should be played by a Black man. Same way no Black person is playing Princess Diana or Judy Garland. Robert Downey Jr did blackface as satire.

Yes I know the whole “bRuNo mArS iSn’T bLaCk” argument, but A) Stevie Wonder called those arguments BS, and B) I think it is much better to have someone like him play a black person than for a white person to play a black person.

Yeah yeah I know. I am a bad person, I am ignorant, racist, homophobe… blah blah blah, I get it. It’s just an opinion.

I would bet a million dollars that the average joe would not give a crap about that casting, and only really the super woke SJWs would have a problem with it.

And cute hateful replies in 3, 2, 1…

Then why is Anne Boleyn being played as a Black person?

There is nothing SJW about wanting a Black man to play Michael Jackson. Because Michael is indeed a Black man. Y’all are obsessed with this “SJW” rhetoric. I swear if a Black man played Bob Dylan Goldderby would be like “hurrr durr pandering to identity politics and the left.” And I hope you know the majority of Michael Jackson fans range from a variety of races including a large chunk of them being White and I’m willing to bet THEY would be outraged as well.

I meant more that nobody would care that a Filipino-Puerto Rican was playing a Black man.

Wow an obscure BBC series that will probably be drowned out since the BBC channel is oversaturated with historical dramas. We are talking about a Michael Jackson biopic here who’s a revered American pop culture icon…

Zendaya in MCU, Samuel L. Jackson in MCU, Morgan Freeman in Shawshank, Noma Dumezweni in Cursed Child, Quvenzhane Wallis in Annie, Will Smith in Men in Black, Pam Grier in Jackie Brown, pretty much the entire cast of The Wiz, Dwayne Johnson in Hercules, Eartha Kitt as Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright in Bond, Sam Jones in Smallville, Naomie Harris in Skyfall, Laurence Fishburne in Man of Steel

Why is it okay for all these black actors to play white characters but you guys are losing your minds over a Filipino-Puerto Rican man playing a black man?

You do know that Bruno Mars was also being considered for a Prince biopic too right? Prince isn’t Filipino-Puerto Rican either.
