Colman Domingo Says Michael Jackson Biopic Will Be ‘Amazing’

Colman Domingo was old Hollywood glamour in custom Valentino and Swarovski jewels at the 2025 SAG Awards.
“Extra’s” Mona Kosar Abdi and Adam Glassman spoke with Colman, who opened up on the Michael Jackson biopic.
It was recently reported that the biopic release date was being pushed back.
Colman, who plays Michael’s father Joe Jackson, said, “At some point, it’ll come out.”
“I don’t know anything more about that,” Domingo added. “That’s literally all I know. I feel like people want more than I actually know, and I’m like, ‘Should I come up with a lie?’”
Colman is confident that the movie is “going to be amazing.”
Domingo was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role for his work on “Sing Sing.”
I said, “I’m truly grateful. To be back here again for a film like ‘Sing Sing’ is incredible. I love what we made as an ensemble. I love my castmates… It’s a story that I think hopefully will continue to move the needle on what we can do to help give people a chance to… find news paths for their humanity, you know, especially men who are incarcerated.”
Colman mentioned the recent L.A. wildfires, pointing out, “So many firefighters were out there, fighting these wildfires were incarcerated men and they should have a path to become citizens again.”
Domingo’s performance in “Sing Sing” has earned major raves from big names like his famous friend Oprah Winfrey. He commented, “The fact that my friend Oprah literally stood on the stage at the Santa Barbara Film Festival two weeks ago and said my mom’s name… she said her full name, her full government name and it made me so happy cause I know that my mother would never have imagined or maybe she would have because my mother imagined that people like Oprah should know me. I think my mother would be extraordinarily proud.”
