Michael Jackson, who was known as the "King of Pop" for his musical contribution, owned music assets and companies.

The legendary musician’s fame has revived nearly two decades after he passed away as Jaafar Jackson starrer Michael biopic dominated charts.

After massive success of the new movie, the Smooth Criminal crooner’s hidden desire resurfaced which left fans divided.

According to reports, Stan Lee revealed during his life that the Grammy winner “wanted to be Spider-Man” as he seemingly desired to portray the infamous “Peter Parker.”

His offer was rejected which made him put forward another offer to “buy Marvel.”

Although Michael was notable for his music, the online community did not approve the idea to see him as the Marvel superhero.

One of the X users noted that the decision would have resulted in him being “the most hated” star. While another netizen was of the opinion: “I love MJ but thank god that never happened.”

Is Michael bipoic a hit or a miss?

This came after his biopic garnered attention from around the world with young fans flocking the theatres.

The film made headlines for grossing $87 million on its opening weekend, becoming highest-grossing global opening for a music biopic in history.

It made around $217.4 million with its global debut in April 2026.
