Logan is the same guy who wrote Bohemian Rhapsody, which made a gazillion dollars so that was a factor.
Also the film is being made with the full support of the Jackson estate and the Jackson family, so everyone important INCLUDING Michael’s own nephew is onboard with this project. This is literally the best it could get beyond somebody like Spike Lee directing

His heavily religious family could never let Mike be portrayed as
its not about him being portrayed gay....its about the people telling his story-
its nice that his family is involved and approve it, but the people behind making the actual movie ain't an all-star team.....we gonna see though.

Mike would still go door to door as a jehovas witness in the thriller era?

He definitely looks similar but no one is going to look exactly like MJ. I don’t get what’s “weird” about it. Then again the word “weird” is always used with things involving Michael Jackson
He looks enough like Michael naturally because he’s directly related but I must say whoever is doing the makeup and styling is winning themselves a muthafukking Oscar because what their accomplishing is both unprecedented and dare I say tastefully done.
I love Michael Jackson. Huge fan all of my life. But we have to be honest with ourselves here, not only did the man suffer from Vitiligo, but he also voluntarily subjected himself to SIX different nose operations, tattooed eyebrows and put a goddamn CLEFT in his chin. The man had major body dysmorphia. It would be hard for ANY actor to physically embody that sort of drastic transformation. So the fact that their making Jafaar look as much like adult Michael without going into cartoony territory is a testament to the respect and skill all involved are showcasing.
The way I see it is, if you look at Michael from the time he was about 12 until 21 (just after Off The Wall era) he looked in line with Jermaine and Jackie. Those three favored each other while Marlon and Tito favored each other (Randy also favored Michael and Jermaine) so in my mind, if Michael had never surgically altered his face and hadn’t suffered Vitiligo he would have ended up looking like a skinnier Jermaine. Jafaar is Jermaine’s son and favors his father, who favored Michael. So he’s going to look as much as like Michael as genetically possible. Joseph had very strong genes
