The release date for Michael Jackson’s biopic film has been pushed back for several months. Although Michael has been set to hit big screens on April 18, 2025, since the beginning of the year, Lionsgate has pushed the United States release date to October 3, 2025. Meanwhile, Universal is conducting the overseas release of the film. The pop star’s flick titled Michael will now go against Roofman, which stars Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, and LaKeith Stanfield, to name a few.
Michael is directed by Antoine Fuqua and takes inspiration from a screenplay by John Logan. The movie stars Michael Jackson’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, Colman Domingo, Nia Long, Miles Teller, and more.
“Michael will bring audiences a riveting and honest portrayal of the brilliant yet complicated man who became the King of Pop,” the synopsis reads.
“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 never before, audiences will experience an inside look into one of the most influential, trailblazing artists the world has ever known.”
Michael Jackson is known as the King of Pop. He’s created an array of hits like “Thriller,” “Dirty Diana,” “Man in the Mirror,” and much more. In 2009, he passed away at the age of 50 due to cardiac arrest.
