Michael 2026

The biographical film Michael, set for a global theatrical release on April 24, 2026, offers an expansive look at the life and legacy of the "King of Pop." Directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan, the project is produced by Graham King, who previously spearheaded the success of Bohemian Rhapsody. The film features a massive ensemble cast led by Jaafar Jackson, Michael’s nephew, whose performance has been described by the crew as an uncanny embodiment of his uncle’s persona, voice, and dance style. Supporting him are Academy Award nominee Colman Domingo as the family patriarch Joe Jackson, Nia Long as Katherine Jackson, and Miles Teller as longtime attorney John Branca. The narrative is designed as a sprawling epic with a reported runtime of approximately three and a half hours, covering the entirety of Jackson's career from his debut as a child prodigy in the Jackson 5 to his unprecedented solo superstardom. The film does not shy away from the complexities of his life, aiming to portray the man behind the myth by addressing both his creative triumphs—such as the making of the Thriller and Bad albums—and the heavy scrutiny of his private life, including the various legal battles and allegations that surfaced in his later years. With a production budget of $155 million, the film utilizes high-end practical sets and choreography to recreate iconic moments, including the 1984 Victory Tour and the legendary Motown 25 performance.
