Peele told NME he did not know that the documentary was coming out when he was leaving on US, but acknowledged Jackson’s “duality”.
Us is being released in the UK this Friday, 15 March, and will hit theatres in the US on 22 March.
Director Jordan Peele has commented on the fact that one of the characters in his latest movie, Us, wears a Michael Jackson T-shirt – saying the situation is a “perfect symbol” of his horror film’s message.
