Michael Jackson’s biopic stars his nephew Jaafar Jackson in the lead role

Michael Jackson’s upcoming biopic has finally gotten a release date. According to Deadline, Lions gate has decided to release Michael, starring the late King of Pop’s nephew Jaafar Jackson in the lead role, on April 18, 2025. The biographical musical drama, directed by Antoine Fuqua with a screenplay written by John Logan, will tell the story of Michael’s life and his four-decade career.

Lions gate stated that the film will navigate through all of his life journey, however, considering that the biopic is being made in conjunction with the late singer’s estate, it is unclear if the viewers will get a peek inside some of his controversies, like the allegations of child sexual abuse, or not. Deadline quoted the official synopsis as: “Michael will bring audiences a riveting and honest portrayal of the brilliant yet complicated man who became the King of Pop.”

It continued: “The film presents his triumphs and tragedies on an epic, cinematic scale — from his human side and personal struggles to his undeniable creative genius, exemplified by his most iconic performances.” As the production for the film was delayed in 2023 due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, the main photography for Michael is now set to begin on January 22.
