The upcoming 2026 film Michael already has fans in a chokehold after seeing Jaafar Jackson portray his legendary uncle on the big screen, and Colman Domingo is only adding to the shock. Taking on the role of Joe Jackson, Domingo has left fans floored by his uncanny, near-perfect resemblance to the King of Pop's father.
Michael's newest trailer revealed more of how the movie adapts the pop icon's upbringing into one of the world's most infamous singers. The trailer begins with Michael Jackson's voice saying he's the "greatest of all time" before cutting to his childhood, becoming the Jackson 5 with his siblings.
Domingo is seen as Joe telling his children at the dinner table that they have to be willing to work for it if they don't want to be stuck working the steel mill like him. The trailer details the personal family struggles as the Jackson 5 rise in international fame and Joe's firm hold on his children's success.
Seeing Domingo as the pop icon's father left many fans shocked with the actor's uncanny resemblance. An X user posted a side-by-side comparison of the actor versus a real-life family photo of Joe with his children, with one fan commenting, "transformation is crazy good."

Other fans commented how the movie's make-up department is already in the running for winning an Oscar based on Domingo alone, with one fan sating it's "scary accurate" and "Nasty yet beautiful work."
Part of the shock surrounding Domingo’s portrayal stems from his chilling transformation into Joe Jackson, fully embodying the pop icon's dark and controversial family history.
"Coleman said make me Evil," said one fan, while another added, "he looks evil asf that's Joe right there."
