Michael: The Michael Jackson Biopic from Antoine Fuqua, Starring Jaafar Jackson | April 24, 2026 | Teaser Trailer Released

[Mike the Executioner]

I can see why Paris wants nothing to do with this movie. They're hoping it does well enough to justify making a second one, and if it doesn't, all that footage will go unused. If it does, they already shot themselves in the foot because they still have to work around the material they can't use.

They didn’t do their proper due diligence. Michael’s lawyers had made a deal with his first molestation accuser that would never dramatize him or the case in a film and then the producers went and did JUST that, which makes sense if your not trying to run away or sanitize Michael’s story but DAMN you’d think his estate would be on the up and up about stuff like this.

I hope the first film is a hit, better yet I just hope its good. Michael deserves a two-part epic film, he’s the most important entertainer of the modern era and his story has always been too bombastic for just one movie.

Fuqua can be hit or miss. Hoping this works out.

I didnt know that. But didn't they do that in the VH1 TV movie with Flex?

There is a GOAT caliber movie in Mike's life story and now I fear that we will never get it or anywhere close to it because of his family and these other people.

That movie wasn’t sanctioned by Jackson’s estate, which is why they couldn’t use any of his music. This movie is the official biopic, backed by MJ’s estate and his longtime lawyer John Branca.

Just imagine a Spike Lee directed Michael Jackson movie....what could have been...

 

[Roid Jones]

Only thing questionable is how they got that nikka original nose looking egregiously large in that shot of him in the booth at the end

I was sceptical and wasn't keeping up with this film but dude does look like MJ

Its his nephew, Jermaine’s son.

Even with the family resemblance the makeup team did a BANG UP JOB. He looks just LIKE Michael in the performance scenes.

This is definitely getting a makeup and costumes oscar nomination at the least.
