The upcoming Michael Jackson biopic set to be directed by Antoine Fuqua is apparently going to be split into two parts. As a result, this will most likely push the first film back to an October release date. With Michael being a major player at CinemaCon, no footage has been released. The film was wrapped up with projection in May of 2024, but there are still some revisions being worked on with John Logan’s script.

Michael had a budget of $155 million and stars Michael Jackson’s actual nephew, Jaafar Jackson, will make his debut. Coleman Domingo, who plays Jackson’s father Joe, was reported by saying in a Variety interview,

I’m always curious about the making of a person. With Joe Jackson, we have an idea about him, or the way he moved through the world and was a very strong and formidable human being. And for me, I was like, ‘Yeah, but he also created some legendary performers and this legacy of a family.’ I’m like, I want to know who that man is. I had to go on the inside and find out everything that I love about Joe Jackson: what his tools were for survival in the world, the tools that he gave to his children, whether it was the way he reared his children or being from where he was, I want to examine all of that. It was about really building a very complex, complete human being with a soul. I was very happy to lend whatever I could to play Joe Jackson
