Michael is a 2026 biographical film directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan. It follows the early life of the American singer Michael Jackson, from his time with the Jackson 5 in the 1960s to the Bad World Tour in the late 1980s. In 1966, steel worker Joseph Jackson assembles his five sons, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael, into the band The Jackson 5, with Michael on lead vocals. After months of grueling rehearsals, the group is discovered in Chicago and signs with Motown a year later. Motown founder Berry Gordy believes Michael has even more potential as a solo artist. Jackson is portrayed by his nephew Jaafar Jackson and, as a child, by Juliano Valdi, both in their film debuts. The supporting cast includes Nia Long, KeiLyn Durrel Jones, Laura Harrier, Jessica Sula, Mike Myers, Miles Teller and Colman Domingo. Fuqua was named director in January 2023, when Jaafar was cast. Principal photography took place from January to May 2024, with reshoots in June 2025. Michael premiered in Berlin on April 10, 2026, and was released in the UK on April 22 and in the US on April 24. A sequel is in development.
