Good news that's bound to make some noise. The project was announced back in 2019, and new information has finally been unveiled, including the release date and the name of the actor who will portray Michael Jackson.

For over 4 years now, the fans of the King of Pop have been in a frenzy. They were promised an incredible biopic about the complex life of the singer, only to be left hanging without any further updates. Today, they can finally pop open the champagne, as details about the film are starting to emerge.


We want to know everything

Big news, and no small thing, we finally have a release date for this long-awaited biopic. And unfortunately, we'll have to be a little patient because it will only be available in theaters on April 18, 2025! That's almost a year and a half from now. Well, we shouldn't complain, it's still good to know, but still.

Great news, we now know who will play Bambi on camera. And it seems to be a family affair, as it is none other than MJ's nephew who will bring his uncle back to life. Indeed, Jaafar Jackson, the youngest son of Jermaine Jackson, has been chosen by director Antoine Fuqua. So, a heavy task awaits these two artists, and we hope they will be up to the challenge.


Brief summary of the project

For those who haven't been following the project's beginnings, let us remind you that it's Graham King, the producer responsible for the highly appreciated Bohemian Rhapsody, who is behind this project and will produce the film. With someone like that leading it, we can't help but hope it won't be bad, right? Anyway, we're looking forward to a teaser very soon, to get a first idea.

The biopic will really aim to show the entirety of Michael Jackson's life, without sugarcoating or concealing the darker aspects of his story (such as the allegations of pedophilia, for example). We are just wondering how they will manage to fit such a dense and eventful life into a single 2-hour film.
