Well, she already played murderers several times, but playing a pedophile and abusive predator would be something new.

All jokes aside, it will be really interesting to see who is actually cast to play Michael.

I've seen it speculated that Bruno Mars could be in the running for the role, which would be crazy. 

I think the casting will depend on the scope of the film. If it spans his life post-90s, they might even need two actors to play Michael because of his skin condition - one black actor, one white actor. But I can imagine casting a white actor would cause a lot of controversy, even if Michael did 'look' white in his last two decades. I guess they could lighten the skin of a black actor but that, too, has difficult implications that I can't imagine any film studio would really want to indulge. 

The solution will probably be to stop the film prior to the whitening of Michael's skin... but that then leaves a huge gaping hole in the film in that it would never recognise or tackle the child sexual assault claims, which again, I don't think any film studio would risk in 2022. Can you imagine the outrage if an MJ film doesn't include that? Tricky. 

I'll defer to @PartySick and @Cello - what do you guys think?

I could see them including a time jump when his skin tone changes.  Cast a “young Michael” with darker skin and an “adult Michael” with whiter skin and just make the age gap large enough they couldn’t feasibly use the same actor.

This was the first person to come to my mind because I do think he looks like a young Michael (just from a visual point of view)

I'd be more interested in Bruno playing Prince than Michael. They have a very similar coolness factor off stage. I don't think Bruno could play MJ's off stage reality. I think he can do a great job with MJ's onstage persona.
