Whether you admire the accuracy or suppose they did an excessive amount of, it’s clear the movie isn’t scared to handle every half of MJ’s iconic profession.

At one level, the movie was rumored to be 4 HOURS before later being teased as a potential 2-part event.
When requested by an analyst about Part 2 of the movie, Lionsgate Motion Picture Chair Adam Fogelson teased that “more Michael” might be announced proper after the first movie is launched, per World of Reel.
“…we’ve had the great pleasure of seeing the director’s cut of the first movie, and it’s distinctive,” he said on a current earnings call.
“While we’re not yet ready to confirm plans for a second film, I can tell you that the creative team is hard at work making sure that we’re in a position to deliver more Michael soon after we release the first film.”
Based on the rousing reception, Michael is primed to be one of 2026’s greatest hits when it moonwalks into theaters April 24, 2026 and is already stirring up hysteria that you may see on the flip.
