The teaser of Michael began with the pop star's childhood, with his mother saying, “There might be some people who think you’re different, and that’s going to make life a little harder for you, but you never were like anyone else.” The scene cuts to the grown-up Jackson, where the voiceover says, “It transports your entire being; that’s what I want the world to feel like—magic.”
The first look compiles footage of the artist from various stages of his life, and Man in the Mirror’s tune stays constant in the background. The film is directed by Antoine Fuqua.
