The world is gearing up for a musical and emotional masterpiece as MICHAEL — the biopic honoring Michael Jackson — prepares to moonwalk into theaters on April 24, 2026. This sweeping film invites audiences to experience the life, artistry, and passion of the man who changed music forever.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua, MICHAEL doesn’t just recount history — it reintroduces us to the creative force who redefined pop culture. From the Jackson Five’s breakout fame to his meteoric rise as a solo artist, the story captures every stage of Michael’s evolution, offering an unfiltered glimpse into the genius, challenges, and humanity that shaped him.

Leading the cast is Jaafar Jackson, the late superstar’s nephew, whose performance radiates authenticity and emotional depth. His portrayal brings Michael’s voice, vision, and vulnerability to life in a way that feels both familiar and fresh. Joining him are Nia Long, Laura Harrier, Juliano Krue Valdi, Miles Teller, and Colman Domingo, rounding out a dynamic ensemble that reflects the people and moments pivotal to Jackson’s journey.

Penned by John Logan (Gladiator, Skyfall) and produced by Graham King, alongside Michael’s estate co-executors John Branca and John McClain, the film masterfully blends drama and music to showcase not only Michael’s global impact but also the quiet strength behind his artistry.

MICHAEL promises more than a nostalgic trip — it’s a cinematic revival of rhythm, resilience, and reinvention. It’s a reminder that long after the lights fade, the beat goes on — and the legend of Michael Jackson continues to inspire dreamers everywhere.
