POP ROYALTY RETURNS: “MICHAEL” REDEFINES THE KING OF POP FOR A NEW ERA

Get ready for a front-row seat to the story that changed music forever. MICHAEL, the upcoming biopic about Michael Jackson, is set to hit theaters on April 24, 2026, promising an inside look at the highs, heartbreaks, and pure magic behind one of the most legendary entertainers in history.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua, this film goes deeper than the moonwalk — it’s a bold, emotional journey through the making of an icon. From a young prodigy leading The Jackson Five to the superstar who revolutionized sound, style, and performance, MICHAEL gives fans the ultimate behind-the-scenes view of the genius that powered the King of Pop.

Jaafar Jackson, Michael’s real-life nephew, steps into the spotlight with an uncanny resemblance and electrifying presence, capturing the energy, passion, and humanity that defined his uncle’s legacy. The all-star cast includes Nia Long, Laura Harrier, Juliano Krue Valdi, Miles Teller, and Colman Domingo, each helping tell the story of the man who broke barriers and built a legacy that still moves the world.

Written by John Logan (Gladiator, Skyfall) and produced by Graham King, alongside estate co-executors John Branca and John McClain, MICHAEL is more than a movie — it’s a cultural moment. A reminder that behind every hit, every headline, and every groundbreaking performance was a man chasing greatness and redefining artistry on his own terms.

Equal parts drama, rhythm, and revelation, MICHAEL celebrates the power of music, the price of fame, and the eternal spark of a legend who continues to inspire.
