Antoine Fuqua's upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, "Michael," may be split into two movies. As a result, the Lionsgate and Universal Pictures International project will likely push its current Oct. 3 release date.

Deadline. The film from director Antione Fuqua was a big part of 2024's Lionsgate CinemaCon presentation, however no footage from the biopic was shown during these year's convention, nor was it even mentioned.

As it currently stands, director Antoine Fuqua’s blockbuster biopic Michael is set to debut on the 2025 movie schedule, in an October 3rd release date. Save for one prior delay that pushed the film from its originally intended April 18th bow, we seemed to know what to expect from the Jaafar Jackson-starring musical.
