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.

Lionsgate didn’t show footage for Michael yesterday since all these decisions are up in the air for the film which stars Jackson’s nephew and Jermaine Jackson’s son Jaafar in the title role. Coleman Dominigo is Joe Jackson and Nia Long is Katherine Jackson. More on the cast here for the John Logan-penned movie.
