We just got a new look at Michael and this time, it’s straight from the director himself.
A freshly released featurette gives us a short but powerful conversation with Antoine Fuqua, who opens up about the responsibility of bringing Michael Jackson’s story to the big screen. And you can feel it immediately, this isn’t being treated like just another music biopic.
In the clip, Fuqua reflects on the magnitude of telling the story of one of the most influential entertainers in history. The focus? Humanity. Legacy. The man behind the myth.
Jaafar Jackson steps into the role of his uncle, with the film tracing Michael’s journey from his early days with the Jackson 5 to global superstardom. From what we’re seeing, the tone feels cinematic and deeply intentional, less spectacle, more soul.
Michael hits theaters and IMAX on April 24, 2026.
