Scheduled for release in theaters on April 22, “Michael” is set to be one of the most ambitious biopics yet. Check out the new trailer that reveals several iconic moments from the superstar’s career.
Will the Michael Jackson biopic garner as much enthusiasm as Bohemian Rhapsody? For context, the Freddie Mercury film captivated over 4.3 million viewers in France and grossed nearly a billion dollars worldwide. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, “Michael” appears poised to achieve similar success.
The latest trailer has set social media ablaze as it unveils extensive recreations of the singer’s career, including music video scenes – like “Thriller” – iconic concerts, and events that have profoundly impacted the artist’s life.

The trailer also gives us glimpses into family scenes, particularly featuring Joe Jackson, Michael Jackson’s father, portrayed on screen by Colman Domingo (Euphoria). We also catch a glimpse of Bubbles, the chimpanzee adopted by the star back in the day – who is reportedly still alive.

Furthermore, these clips provide a deeper look into Jaafar Jackson’s portrayal of the lead role, who is none other than the pop king’s nephew. And it appears that mimicry is a central theme.
Having been in production for some time and delayed on several occasions, the film has been surrounded by various controversies and theories. One such theory suggested that the biopic would be split into two parts, but the studio, Lionsgate, has decided to release it as a single, presumably epic film.
Michael, in theaters April 22.
