Lionsgate’s full trailer for the Michael Jackson biopic shows off a few new scenes with the brothers and a lot more with Michael than the previous teasers. Michael Jackson’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, takes on the lead role in Michael, opening in theaters and IMAX on April 24, 2026.
Colman Domingo and Nia Long star as the Jackson family patriarch and matriarch. The PG-13 musical drama also stars Laura Harrier, Juliano Krue Valdi, and Miles Teller.
Lionsgate offers this description of the biopic: “Michael is the cinematic portrayal of the life and legacy of one of the most influential artists the world has ever known. The film tells the story of Michael Jackson’s life beyond the music, tracing his journey from the discovery of his extraordinary talent as the lead of the Jackson Five to the visionary artist whose creative ambition fueled a relentless pursuit to become the biggest entertainer in the world.
Highlighting both his life off-stage and some of the most iconic performances from his early solo career, the film gives audiences a front-row seat to Michael Jackson as never before. This is where his story begins.”
Antoine Fuqua (The Equalizer, Training Day) directs and three-time Oscar nominee John Logan (Hugo, The Aviator, Gladiator) wrote the screenplay. Producers include Graham King, John Branca, and John McClain.
