Here’s the latest on the Michael Jackson biopic release date.
- The film Michael, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson, is now slated for a spring 2026 release. Multiple outlets confirm a global theatrical release on April 24, 2026, with the French date around late April 2026 as well.[2][7][8]
- Initial plans had a 2025/October window, but production and editing changes led to the delay and the new date; some reports note the possibility of a second film in development alongside this first installment.[1][5][8]
If you’d like, I can pull the most recent French or U.S. release details and, optionally, a brief summary of the film’s production timeline in a concise timeline. Would you prefer a timeline focused on dates only or include key production milestones?
