A new movie about Michael Jackson is on the way, and it’s turning into a much bigger project than fans expected. The film, titled Michael, is being directed by Antoine Fuqua and stars Jaafar Jackson, who is Michael’s real-life nephew. The movie has gone back into production for 22 more days of filming. This extra time has led people to wonder if the movie might be split into two parts, although nothing has been confirmed yet.

The first part of the movie is said to follow Michael’s early years, from his time in the Jackson 5 to the release of Off the Wall. That moment marked a big turning point in his career, and it’s a strong place to end the first chapter. Right now, the film is already more than 3.5 hours long, which is one reason it was delayed from its original October 2025 release date. The new release is likely to happen sometime in 2026.

There have also been some issues behind the scenes. The third act of the movie needed changes because of legal restrictions on showing certain events. This made reshoots necessary, but the team behind the film wanted to get it right. Lionsgate, the studio making the movie, has a history of breaking big stories into two films, and this might be another one of those moments.

As all this news was buzzing, fans got a real treat: the release of the first trailer. And it starts with a clear message, a change is coming. Fans hear the words repeated while powerful scenes play across the screen. Jaafar Jackson steps into his uncle’s shoes, dancing, singing, and showing real emotion. His performance already feels like something special. The trailer doesn’t tell the whole story, but it builds excitement and gives fans a strong feeling that something big is on the way.
