First Teaser Trailer For Michael Jackson Biopic Released

The first teaser trailer for the long-awaited official Michael Jackson biopic, “Michael”, has finally been released, marking a moment fans around the world have long been anticipating.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan, the film promises the most comprehensive portrayal yet of the life and legacy of the King of Pop.

Produced by Graham King, who previously oversaw “Bohemian Rhapsody”, the Oscar-winning Queen biopic, “Michael” features a deeply personal casting choice: Michael’s real-life nephew, Jaafar Jackson, portraying his uncle in his first major acting role. While specific plot details remain under wraps, the film is expected to explore Michael’s extraordinary rise from child performer to global icon, celebrating his music, artistry, and lasting influence on pop culture.

The supporting cast includes Colman Domingo as family patriarch Joe Jackson and Nia Long as Katherine Jackson. Filming began in early 2024 and concluded earlier this year. Originally slated for a 2025 release, the film had been rescheduled for April 24th, 2026 following an extended post-production period and possible structural revisions.

With a powerhouse creative team, and unprecedented access to Michael’s world and artistry, “Michael” is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about musical biopics in recent memory.
