Jaafar Jackson has officially joined Will Smith and AnnaSophia Robb in upcoming prison thriller Supermax for Amazon MGM Studios, landing his first major role since Michael passed £790 million ($1 billion) at the global box office. The rising actor, who broke through playing his uncle Michael Jackson in the Antoine Fuqua-directed biopic, secured the high-profile gig this week.
The film, produced by Lionsgate, has become the highest-grossing biographical movie of all time. Jackson, the son of Michael Jackson's older brother Jermaine, earned widespread critical acclaim for his dedication to the role of his late uncle.
