Yesterday, fans got just a taste\u00a0and honestly, that might be part of the plan. The official social channels for the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic Michael teased what\u2019s to come with a super-short 18-second clip and a tantalising message:<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 3 months: Experience the legend, the legacy, the life. MICHAEL \u2013 in theaters and IMAX April 24th.\u201d<\/p>\n
The teaser barely scratches the surface, showing Jaafar Jackson in character as Michael, about to step onstage but it\u2019s enough to send the MJ community into overdrive. Although fleeting, the new footage includes scenes we\u2019ve already glimpsed in earlier teasers alongside brand-new bits, all capped with the caption \u201cIn 3 Months, Get Ready For Michael.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not a lot to go on, especially with the film now under three months from release, but maybe that\u2019s the point, keep the mystique alive and bigger plans coming up. The full-length teaser dropped last November and gave us much more to chew on, with Jaafar\u2019s striking portrayal of the King of Pop from his Jackson 5 beginnings to iconic solo moments. That earlier teaser also made history, racking up record-breaking views and proving the world is still ravenous for MJ content.<\/p>\n
With Michael slated for April 24th in theatres and IMAX, this new micro-tease feels like a whisper more than a reveal, but for fans who\u2019ve waited years for this biopic, every second counts. More glimpses are surely coming, and until then, the MJ world will be watching that countdown<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yesterday, fans got just a taste\u00a0and honestly, that might be part of the plan.
