Michael may have sidestepped the legal troubles that befell the King of Pop, but Michael Jackson’s nephew and heir apparent is headed straight for super-maximum security prison. Per Deadline, Jaafar Jackson, who stars as Jacko in the billion-dollar-grossing biopic, Michael, has joined the Will Smith-fronted prison thriller, Supermax. Directed by David Gordon Green, Supermax follows two FBI agents (Smith and I Play Rocky‘s AnnaSophia Robb) investigating a murder within an impenetrable maximum-security prison. We have to assume that the murder came from the outside because, at least judging by every episode of Oz we’ve seen, murders in prison aren’t particularly uncommon.
