The Michael Jackson biopic, originally set for release in April 2025 but delayed by a potentially litigious third act, will now arrive a year later in April 2026.

The Antoine Fuqua-directed Michael, starring the late singer’s nephew Jaafar Jackson as the King of Pop, initially wrapped shooting in May 2024, but its initial April 18, 2025, release was postponed until October 2025 after it was revealed that the film required 22 days of reshoots.

The reshoots, it was reported, were needed due to the film’s third act, which in some way delved into the...

The Michael Jackson biopic has finally got a release date.Michael’s nephew Jaafar Jackson is set to star as the late singer in the movie, and after a number of delays, Lionsgate has confirmed it will receive a global theatrical release on April 24, 2026. Deadline reports that a second movie about Jackson remains in development.Directed by Antoine Fuqua and produced by Graham King, the biopic is 27-year-old Jaafar’s first major acting role. While Michael had been the main focus of Lionsgate’s 2023 CinemaCon presentation, no footage was shown at this year’s event. The film’s initial release was planned for 3 October 2025. But Variety previously reported the project may be split into two parts, contributing to the postponement.Filming for Michael wrapped principal photography in May 2024, but the script, written by John Logan, then underwent revisions ahead of planned reshoots.

It's official: Michael, Antoine Fuqua's anticipated Michael Jackson musical biopic, has beat it out of this year's Oscar race.

As Gold Derby reported months ago, the Lionsgate film made an expected move from a planned Oct. 3 release to April 24, 2026.

Michael had been targeted as potential awards bait coming into 2025, but its fate seemed iffy when it was omitted from Lionsgate's CinemaCon presentation to movie theater exhibitors in April. This was a 180 from last year's CinemaCon when the studio shared a first look at Michael.

Weeks later, Lionsgate executives said the film was likely to shift into 2026 amid reports that the four-hour cut would be reconfigured as a two-part release. The two-fer is no longer on the table; instead, Fuqua has been given extra time to chop Michael down to a single film with a manageable running time.

The movie has been beset with controversy. In January, Puck reported that Michael,...

The Michael Jackson biopic “Michael” will open in standard theaters and in Imax worldwide on April 24, moving from its earlier October date.

Lionsgate is releasing the film domestically, with Universal handling distribution in the rest of the world except for Japan, which is handled by Kino Films.

Antoine Fuqua directs, with John Logan as screenwriter and Jaafar Jackson starring as his late uncle. Graham King, an Oscar winner for “The Departed,” produces.

“‘Michael’ explores the global superstar’s journey to become known to the world as the King of Pop, presenting an intimate look at the life and enduring legacy of one of the most influential, trailblazing artists the world has ever known,” the synopsis reads.

Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer said in May that the movie was “likely” to move to 2026. Although it wrapped production in May 2024, the project underwent reshoots and came in with a lengthy initial cut. Earlier,...

The Michael Jackson biopic from Lionsgate and Universal is looking to thrill audiences next year.

Director Antoine Fuqua’s Michael is set to hit theaters and Imax on April 24, 2026, after its release was delayed several times, most recently having been dated for the fall of 2025. Marking his feature debut is Jackson’s nephew Jaafar Jackson in the lead role as the pop music icon. Lionsgate is distributing the movie domestically, while Universal handles the global launch.

The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that Michael was set for 22 days of additional photography to take place in June. Sources noted at the time that the film, initially intended to span the star’s life and have a lengthy run time, was now expected to end with Jackson leaving his family’s group The Jacksons after the release of his first solo album, 1979’s Off the Wall.

Puck reported in January that Michael’s...

Den of Thieves 2: Pantera.Americans love bank robbers. It’s part of our shared mythos. As the song goes, Jesse James stole from the rich and gave to the poor, and the American cinematic canon has followed his example. From James to Butch Cassidy to Bonnie & Clyde and onward, our rebel outlaws have also been all-American entrepreneurs, moving fast and breaking stuff and reaping the perilous reward. Whether lone gunmen or skilled operators, all operate by a similar creed: In America, you get yours by any means necessary. In Christian Gudegast’s Den of Thieves (2018), it’s a gang of ex-Marines to answer this call. When their attempt to steal an armored car goes south, Ray (Pablo Schreiber) and his crew wipe out the responding officers using tactics they learned in Iraq. Dressed in black fatigues and tactical vests, they treat the parking lot of an outlying Los Angeles...

The Michael Jackson biopic is facing another delay.Jaafar Jackson is set to star as the singer in the movie, but Lionsgate have now confirmed the film will not be released as originally scheduled in 2025. Directed by Antoine Fuqua and produced by Graham King, it is now expected to premiere after April 1, 2026, according to Variety.The update was shared by Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer during the company’s Q4 2025 earnings call. He said in a statement: “In regard to our Michael Jackson biopic, we’re excited about the three-and-a-half hours of amazing footage from producer Graham King and director Antoine Fuqua, and we will be announcing a definitive release strategy and timing in the next few weeks. “I would note that it is likely we will move ‘Michael’ out of the fiscal year which will impact fiscal ’26 financial results but will bolster an already strong fiscal 2027 slate.”The biopic stars 27-year-old Jaafar Jackson,...

Lionsgate confirmed that highly-anticipated Michael Jackson biopic Michael may end up being two separate films. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the movie stars Jackson’s nephew and Jermaine Jackson’s son Jaafar Jackson in the title role.

“At the end, when you look at the music library, when you look at what Michael Jackson was able to deliver in terms of music and contributions to art, whether or not that can be fit into one movie comfortably or not is a question that we are absolutely asking,” Lionsgate film chief Adam Fogelson said,...

Michael Jackson fans will have to wait a bit longer for Antoine Fuqua’s biopic “Michael.”

During Lionsgate’s Q4 2025 earnings call, CEO Jon Feltheimer shared an update on the film starring Jackson’s nephew Jaafar Jackson, who makes his screen debut in the project.

“In regard to our Michael Jackson biopic, we’re excited about the 3½ hours of amazing footage from producer Graham King and director Antoine Fuqua, and we will be announcing a definitive release strategy & timing in the next few weeks,” he said. “I would note that it is likely we will move ‘Michael’ out of the fiscal year which will impact fiscal ’26 financial results but will bolster an already strong fiscal ’27 slate.”

The fiscal calendar ends on March 31, 2026, so Feltheimer’s statement indicates that the film (or films) will likely debut after April 1, 2026. Last month, Variety reported that the film would likely be split into two...

CinemaCon is all about studios showcasing to exhibitors what they have on their docket that they should be excited about. Lionsgate had its presentation and wisely revealed that John Wick would be coming back for a fifth round of action while also discussing how that universe would be expanding. Lionsgate also has what could be one of the biggest musical biopics on the schedule in Michael, a film directed by Antoine Fuqua that should get fans of Michael Jackson excited. It would be a project that a studio would want to showcase to exhibitors since it's supposed to open in the fall of this year, but it was noticeably absent from their presentation. Why was it missing in action? As it turns out, some of the issues have to do with how to release the film, and the other matter in question is if it will even release this year at all.

If you have Michael, Antoine Fuqua's Michael Jackson musical biopic, in your early 2026 Oscar predictions, you might want to make an adjustment. The film likely won't be released in 2025 and may be split into two movies, Deadline reports.

Michael's current cut runs nearly four hours, and the possibility of it being split into two parts is on the table but not definite yet, according to the trade. The Lionsgate film is currently scheduled to open on Oct. 3, but the date remains in flux.

This development is not surprising after Lionsgate offered no updates on Michael during its CinemaCon presentation to movie theater exhibitors on Tuesday. This was a 180 from last year's CinemaCon when the studio shared a first look at Michael.

But the film has been beset with controversy. In January,...

Antoine Fuqua’s upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, “Michael,” may be split into two movies. As a result, the Lionsgate and Universal Pictures International project will likely push its current Oct. 3 release date.

While “Michael” was a major part of last year’s Lionsgate CinemaCon presentation, no footage from the project was shown during this year’s outing. The film, produced by “Bohemian Rhapsody’s” Graham King, wrapped principal photography in May 2024, but John Logan’s script is in the process of being revised in advance of reshoots.

“Michael,” which carries a roughly $155 million budget, stars Jackson’s nephew Jaafar Jackson, who makes his screen debut in the film. Colman Domingo and Nia Long will play family heads Joe and Katherine Jackson, while Miles Teller will play Jackson’s attorney and advisor John Branca. Larenz Tate will star as Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, while Laura Harrier will play portray pioneering...

Producer Will Packer is teasing the Girls Trip sequel and recently revealed he has a script for a follow-up film.

While appearing on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, Packer said that a sequel to the 2017 comedy is in the works.

“We actually are looking at doing an exotic locale — I can’t reveal it right now, but I do have a script for the first time,” Packer told host Andy Cohen after a fan asked if the sequel would take place at the AfroFuture musical festival in Ghana.

He continued: “Girls Trip is happening. Girls Trip 2. Bringing back all the ladies. And we’re going to add maybe some new ladies.”

Packer teased that the Girls Trip cast, which includes Regina Hall, Tiffany Haddish, Jada Pinkett Smith and Queen Latifah, all would return.

The producer also told Cohen that he was watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 “very...

It remains almost impossible to believe that Chadwick Boseman, the man who would be Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is gone, even though it's been nearly five years since his tragic death from colon cancer. Boseman was only 43 years old when he died in the summer of 2020, and yet he'd left a permanent mark and legacy on the world of pop culture. The fact that he portrayed such an instantly beloved superhero played a huge part in crafting his legacy, of course, although Boseman's award-worthy performances in films like "42" (which paved the way for him to get the role of T'Challa) and "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" went a long way towards proving that if he'd had the chance, he would have made an even bigger impact outside of the MCU thanks to his innate talent and charisma.

Of course, the reality is that most actors aren't movie stars,...

The highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, has been a topic of controversy ever since it was announced in 2019, and it seems like the production is no easy feat either, as Miles Teller, who plays Jackson's entertainment lawyer, John Branca, recently shared the challenges of bringing the King of Pop's story to the big screen.

Apparently, the crew behind Michael has recreated several key moments at the infamous Neverland Ranch, a place Jackson considered home for more than a decade. During his appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Thursday, Teller shared crucial details regarding the film's production.

"I play John Branca, his entertainment lawyer. We filmed at Neverland. It was wild. Somebody else had bought it, but we dressed it up."

The Top Gun: Maverick star revealed that filming at Neverland Ranch was a surreal experience, especially considering they had to recreate the set, as Jackson sold the property in 2005. Nevertheless,...

Nia Long and Larenz Tate will serve as ambassadors for the 2025 American Black Film Festival.

This year’s ABFF, presented by Nice Crowd, will be held in Miami Beach June 11-15, followed by an online segment June 16-23 on ABFF Play.

In their role as ambassadors, the “Love Jones” stars will help bring awareness to the festival’s mission of showcasing Black content and fostering opportunities for creators of color to succeed in the film and TV industry. Plus, ABFF has set a special screening of their hit 1997 classic romance, dubbed “ABFF Remembers: Love Jones,” an intimate conversation and musical tribute celebrating the legacy of the film. Long and Tate will reunite to reflect on the making of the film, their experiences on set and their enduring friendship.

“Their work in ‘Love Jones’ remains iconic, and they have long been trailblazers in the industry,” stated Jeff and Nicole Friday, founders of Nice Crowd,...

Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic is reportedly in a “Jam” due to a legal issue with the film’s third act. According to Puck, Lionsgate’s Michael Jackson biopic is undergoing significant rewrites and reshoots because of a deal the Jackson estate made with one of the Gloved One’s child molestation accusers. Before the snag, the biopic was scheduled to moonwalk into theaters on October 3, 2025. However, that date is uncertain after Jackson’s legal team and the family of Jordan Chandler, the then 13-year-old who accused Jackson of molestation in 1993, disagreed about specific details.

The deal made with the Chandler family stipulates that they cannot be featured in any movies focusing on Jackson’s life. However, the third act portion of the script for Fuqua’s Michael focuses significantly on the Chandlers’ 1993 legal battle with the King of Pop, which ended in a $20 million settlement. The phrase “let...

The Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, could very well become one of the biggest musical biopics ever made due to the entertainer's worldwide reach, which has only increased since his passing in 2009. Any studio wants their film to be successful, but a new legal wrinkle regarding the film may result in very costly reshoots that could balloon the movie's already reported $150 million+ budget.

According to a report from Puck, Michael may face delays due to having to reshoot much of the film's third act, which partially revolves around its portrayal of the child molestation case involving a then 13-year-old Jordan Chandler. Back in 1993, Chandler testified in court documents that the King of Pop made "sexual offensive contacts" with him, an accusation that played a huge role in damaging Jackson's career, particularly in the U.S.

Jackson settled out of court with the Chandler family for a reported $23 million, and no...

Vin Diesel’s 2003 action thriller A Man Apart has recently surged to the top of the Tubi streaming chart, defying more than two decades of terrible reviews from critics to find a new audience. The words “free streaming” and “Vin Diesel action movie” really do combine to make a strangely attractive prospect to many casual viewers scrolling for something to pass a couple of hours. Best known for iconic roles in franchises like Fast & Furious and Riddick, Diesel’s earlier work in A Man Apart offers a darker and more emotional story for the actor to handle. Unfortunately, critics seem to prefer it when he is just driving like a boy-racer and blowing things up.

Directed by F. Gary Gray, who would later collaborate with Diesel on The Fate of the Furious, A Man Apart tells the story of DEA agent Sean Vetter, a man looking for revenge over...

Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel has carved out a legacy as a blockbuster action hero, but not all of his efforts in the genre have been as well-received as that multi-billion-dollar box office franchise. And now, one of those efforts is getting ready to stream for free. The movie in question is Diesels 2003 vigilante action thriller A Man Apart, which caused a pretty major divide between audiences and critics upon release, and finds the Riddick star leading the way as an undercover DEA agent on a violent vendetta.

Directed by F. Gary Gray of Law Abiding Citizen, Straight Outta Compton, and The Fate of the Furious fame, A Man Apart was criticized for its clich approach, as well as its inability to balance both action and drama in a satisfactory way. All of which resulted in a score of just 10% on Rotten Tomatoes. On the flip side, audiences were more taken with Diesels brooding,...

Fans of the King of Pop will have to write a little longer to catch a glimpse of his upcoming biopic. Michael Jackson is getting the movie treatment in the Antoine Fuqua-directed Michael, which was originally set for release in April 2025. However, Lionsgate has just announced a release date shift, but before everyone assumes this could be a troubling move, this might indicate that the studio feels like they have an awards season player on their hands.

Per Deadline, Lionsgate has decided to let Michael dance again on Oct. 3, 2025, shifting from its planned release date over the Easter holiday on April 18, 2025. While Easter could've proven to be a very lucrative frame for the biopic, the move into the fall corridor could indicate that Lionsgate feels there is awards season potential for them, very similar to the Graham King-produced Bohemian Rhapsody (King is serving in the same capacity on Michael). On its new date,...

Michael Jackson fans need to wait longer for Antoine Fuqua’s highly-anticipated biopic about the King of Pop to rock their world after Lionsgate announced delays for two of its films. The studio’s Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, is moonwalking to a 2025 Easter window (April 18-20 to October 3) while looking to dominate the box office during the bunny-themed holiday. In addition to telling Michael to “Beat It” to later next year, Lionsgate dated Aziz Ansari’s upcoming comedy, Good Fortune, for October 17, 2025. According to Deadline, Good Fortune stars Keanu Reeves and Seth Rogen. It focuses on “a well meaning but rather inept angel named Gabriel (Reeves) who meddles in the lives of a struggling gig worker (Ansari) and a wealthy capitalist (Rogen).”

“Michael will bring audiences a riveting and honest portrayal of the brilliant yet complicated man who became the King of Pop,” reads the official description. “The film presents...

Michael has delayed its release date. Michael is the upcoming biopic about King of Pop Michael Jackson, chronicling his music career. It will be directed by The Equalizer franchise helmer Antoine Fuqua. Playing the titular musician is Jafaar Jackson, a real-life relative of Michael Jackson. Michael also features a cast including Nia Long, Miles Teller, Laura Harrier, Colman Domingo, Kat Graham, Larenz Tate, Kendrick Sampson, and Derek Luke. The script is penned by John Logan and the movie will be produced by John Branca, David B. Householter, Graham King, John McClain, and Justin Simien.

As per Collider, Michael has officially delayed its release date. The biopic is now set to be released on October 3, 2025. This represents a six-month delay, as the film was originally slated for release in April. The distributor, Lionsgate, has insinuated that they have liked what they have seen in the film, and want to push it...

The final chapter of Power Book II: Ghost was closed on October 4, 2024, with Tariq St. Patrick (Michael Rainey Jr.) gaining the upper hand on two of his most threatening enemies. Now that Monet Tejada (Mary J.

After four short seasons, Starz’s Power Book II: Ghost is officially over following tonight’s series finale titled “Ghost in the Machine.” This won’t be a recap of the episode as we will be breaking all that down tomorrow with two of the show’s biggest stars, but rather it’s to discuss Tariq St. Patrick’s (Michael Rainey Jr.) Marvel moment, if you will, at the end of the episode following the credits.

The final season of Power Book II: Ghost will go down as the most watched show ever on Starz.

The drama, which is headed toward its series finale on Oct. 4, is averaging 10.5 million viewers across all platforms, measured for 90 days post-premiere. (Several years ago, Starz noted that season five of Ghost’s predecessor, Power, averaged 10.8 million viewers, but over a longer span of time than 90 days.)

The Power franchise, which encompasses four series, has set a number of ratings records for Starz. The flagship series displaced Spartacus as Starz’s most watched show at the time back in 2015 and continued to roll up big audiences over the course of its run. Ghost, Book III: Raising Kanan and Book IV: Force — which notched the biggest opening weekend for any series premiere in the channel’s history — have also pulled in strong viewing numbers over their runs.

Ghost remains among the top...

Power Book II: Ghost has scored a record audience at Starz ahead of the anticipated Season 4 finale.

The new season is averaging 10.5M multi-platform viewers per episode in the first 90 days since Season 4 premiered, according to data from the network. That’s an all-time high for the series.

Episode 8, which aired on September 20, delivered 6% audience growth week-over-week in the three days post-premiere, Starz said.

In fact, Season 4 Part 1 and 2 both debuted as the highest-rated cable program among Black households in their respective premiere weekends.

To date, the Power universe has amassed 1.6B hours watched, Starz said.

Quick Links The Postman Plot and Cast The Postman Was a Flop at the Box Office Is The Postman Worth a Watch?

It has undoubtedly been a rough go for Kevin Costner in 2024. His most recent project, Horizon: An American Saga, struggled at the box office before making its way to streaming with mixed reviews from viewers and critics. Some may even say the discourse around the film has been rather harsh for Costner, whose career as an actor and director has seen equal successes as horrible failures.

Still, out of all the movies that Costner has directed, one stands out as his biggest flop, and we are not talking about Waterworld, which he starred in. 1997's The Postman was such a financial and critical failure that it had an irreplicable effect on Costner's career that few other actors have experienced. We will examine just how badly The Postman did in the theaters,...

Jaafar Jackson is the son of Jermaine Jackson and the nephew of the King of Pop.

Lionsgate is distributing the film in the U.S. and Japan, while Universal Pictures has rights for all offshore territories.

In April, Lionsgate dazzled the CinemaCon crowd by sharing a first look at the highly anticipated film, revealing the scope of its examination of the musician’s life, as Jaafar portrays the private man behind the moonwalk. Fans had already gotten a peek at his physical transformation when the studio released an image of Jaafar in costume,...

Roland Emmerich and Antoine Fuqua may have each helmed a dueling White House invasion movie in 2013, but it was all love between them at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday.

“Right before shooting, maybe a month before, I learned he was shooting another one that was called ‘Olympus Has Fallen,'” Emmerich said — revealing he actually watched Fuqua’s film on a plane. “I thought, this is such a better title than ‘White House Down.'”

Fuqua, who also confirmed he’s seen Emmerich’s film, added, “I figured there’s room for those stories. Obviously, it’s two different directors, two different visions on that.” He said the comparisons only fueled the fire inside to step his own game up, continuing, “When you...
