"Michael" is a biographical drama directed by Antoine Fuqua ("Training Day", "Southpaw", "The Equalizer") from a script by John Logan ("Gladiator", "The Aviator", "Skyfall"). The film chronicles the life of iconic pop singer Michael Jackson from his early start as part of Jackson 5 in the 1960s to the 1980s Bad Tour.

Jackson's real-life nephew Jaafar Jackson stars in the lead role alongside Nia Long, KeiLyn Durrel Jones, Laura Harrier, Jessica Sula, Mike Myers, Miles Teller and Colman Domingo. Although the film wrapped production in 2024, its release was delayed because the filmmakers had to redo the film's entire third act after a clause was discovered in a legal settlement with one of Jackson's accusers, Jordan Chandler, forbidding any mention of Chandler in film.

"Michael" was released in theaters on April 24, 2026.
