Miles Teller will play John Branca in “Michael”, the biopic

We wanted a A-lister for this biopic and of course the famous actor will play Branca! Last week we had rumours, now it is confirmed!

Miles Teller is joining the cast of the Michael Jackson biopic Michael.

Lionsgate and Universal Pictures announced in a press release Tuesday that Teller will play attorney John Branca in the upcoming film.

Teller’s Branca is described as “the unyielding attorney who shepherded Michael Jackson’s career as he transitioned from a singing sensation in a boy band to the world-renowned King of Pop.”

Teller is known for playing Peter Hayes in the Divergent movies and has also starred in WhiplashTop Gun: Maverick and The Offer.

“Miles is a compelling screen presence, whom I’ve admired since watching him in Whiplash. He’s the perfect actor to capture John’s enigmatic persona,” producer Graham King said. “From our earliest development conversations, it was clear the emotional connection that John still has to Michael. He graciously allowed us to use him as a character in the film and I’m thrilled that it’s Miles who will portray a relationship that extended over 3 decades, through Michael’s greatest triumphs and most difficult days.”

Our opinion is that all pointed to that direction, first Branca started to appear on social media, redone a website in his name, started “King of Style” project and now it seems that the Biopic will turn around Branca and the A-lister actor will bring huge attention to Branca’s name.

Like in “Elvis” biopic where Tom Hanks played the colonel, the focus will be on Branca’s character. We might be wrong there but frankly, the A-lister actor should have gone to either Joe, Katherine or even Frank DiLeo.

Wandering if they will reveal other cast names now we have a big name? Let’s wait next week!

  1. We will have to wait and see but nothing can surprise me anymore. It’s insane to see that the family is supporting this while Prince is also part of the production team.

  2. Article says like the Elvis film focused on Col Parker, the Michael film will focus on Brancas character.
