The biopic on Michael Jackson isn’t arriving this year. The team behind the movie says it’ll now hit theaters sometime in 2026.
No scandals, no script issues. They just need more time. Post-production is taking longer, and they want to launch it globally with full marketing muscle.
The movie’s called Michael. It’s directed by Antoine Fuqua, and Jaafar Jackson — Michael’s nephew — plays the lead.
They’ve filmed scenes from his early life, his rise in the music world, and the emotional moments few saw.
One crew member said, “They’re being extra careful with this one. It’s not just another biopic — it’s personal.”
People online were upset at first, but most fans seem to understand. They’d rather wait for a good film than see a rushed one.
