Jaafar Jackson Set to Star in Action Thriller SUPERMAX Opposite Will Smith

Coming off his acclaimed portrayal of his uncle, the King of Pop- Michael Jackson, in the film Michael, Jaafar Jackson has signed on to his next project. He is set to star in the action thriller Supermax, opposite Will Smith and AnnaSophia Robb.

The details of Jackson’s role are being kept under wraps, but it’s said to be pivotal to the film’s central plot, revolving around two FBI agents (Smith & Robb) investigating a seemingly impossible murder within the impenetrable walls of a maximum-security prison.

David Gordon Green is directing from a script by David Weil and David J. Rosen. Supermax is currently in pre-production, and is set to stream on Prime Video when it’s released.
