    As the start of principal photography for the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic swiftly approaches, Lionsgate has officially given the film a global release date.

    ‘Michael’ — which stars the late Thriller superstar’s nephew Jaafar Jackson, 27, as the King Of Pop — is slated for an April 18, 2025 theatrical release in the United States, according to Deadline, while Universal handles overseas distribution.

    Directed by Antoine Fuqua with a screenplay written by John Logan, the biographical musical drama follows the life and four-decade career of Michael Jackson, who was one of eight Jackson children, five of which comprised the original pop sensation, the Jackson 5.

    Logan, 62, has a long proven track record as a playwright and filmmaker, writing or co-writing the likes of Gladiator (2000), The Aviator (2004), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2007), Hugo (2011) and the James Bond 007 films Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015).

    According to Lionsgate, the film will delve into all aspects of Michael’s life, although it’s unknown how or if the more scandalous controversies of his life, including allegations of child sexual abuse, will be addressed, considering the fact that the biopic is being made in conjunction with the singer’s estate.

    The upcoming Michael Jackson {seen in 1988) biopic Michael, which stars the King Of Pop's nephew Jaafar Jackson, 27, as the music superstar, has been given a release date of April 18, 2025

    Jaafar Jackson (seen in 2019) will be making his film debut in the Michael biopic

    The upcoming Michael Jackson biopic Michael, which stars the King Of Pop’s nephew Jaafar Jackson, 27, as the music superstar, has been given a release date of April 18, 2025 

    ‘Michael will bring audiences a riveting and honest portrayal of the brilliant yet complicated man who became the King of Pop, the official synopsis reads.

    ‘The film presents his triumphs and tragedies on an epic, cinematic scale — from his human side and personal struggles to his undeniable creative genius, exemplified by his most iconic performances.

    ‘As never before, audiences will experience an inside look into one of the most influential, trailblazing artists the world has ever known.’

    After production for the film was delayed this past year due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, the main photography is now set to begin on January 22.

    Bohemian Rhapsody’s Graham King is among the producers working on the project that also includes John Branca and John McClain, who are the co-executors of the Michael Jackson estate.  

    From the looks of his Instagram photo post in January 2023 after he landed the role of his late uncle, Jaafar, who is one of Jermaine Jackson’s seven children, could be seen in a dance studio working on moves made famous by MJ for at least the last year.

    ‘I’m humbled and honored to bring my Uncle Michael’s story to life,’ Jaafar wrote on Instagram on January 30, 2023. ‘To all the fans all over the world, I’ll see you soon.’

    According to Lionsgate, the film will delve into all aspects of Michael's life, although it's unknown how or if the more scandalous controversies of his life, including allegations of child sexual abuse, will be addressed, considering the fact that the biopic is being made in conjunction with the singer's estate; seen in 1986

    The director of the biopic, Antoine Fuqua, says the actor and singer 'sounds' and 'dances' just his uncle; Jaafar Jeremiah (pictured in 2012) is among Jermaine Jackson's seven children

    The singer and songwriter, who has been singing and dancing since age 12, is the son of former Jackson 5 member and solo act Jermaine Jackson, 69. 

    ‘It’s uncanny how much he’s like Michael … sounds like him, dances like him, sings. It’s really uncanny,’ Fuqua said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

    ‘Graham King, who is a fantastic producer, found him, and introduced him to me, and I was blown away.’

    Fuqua is coming off directing his third installment of The Equalizer franchise starring Denzel Washington for Sony Pictures. 

    His prior feature, the Will Smith slavery drama Emancipation, was released by Apple in 2022.

    Thrust into the spotlight as a child, Michael Jackson was just six-years-old when he and his older siblings made their debut as the Jackson 5 in 1964. 

    Jackson released 10 studio albums as a solo artist fro, between 1972 and 2001, which comes off the heels of the 10 studio recordings he did as the Jackson 5 and The Jacksons from 1969 to 1975.

    During his four-decade career, Michael’s contributions to music, dance, and fashion, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture. 

    With 32 million copies sold worldwide by the end of 1983, Jackson’s Thriller had the distinction of being the best-selling studio album of all time, and was ratified by Guinness World Records on February 7, 1984.

    In the years since the 1980s, Thriller has gone on to solidify itself as the best-selling album of all time with more than 70 million copies sold worldwide.
