Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, will be returning to the screens once again to dance and dominate.

According to Variety, the latest smash biopic on the singer’s life (the highest-grossing biopic ever) turned a $105 million profit, and segment revenue of $587.3 million more than doubled from the prior year. Jackson’s nephew Jaafar did a superb job capturing the pop star’s quintessential abilities, and it would become one of four films of 2026 to top $1 billion.

Film division head Adam Fogelson has stated the sequel is in the works, with a projected release date towards the end of 2027 or in the first half of 2028. He stated, “We have a number of sequences, particularly some big musical sequences, that were shot previously, that are almost sure to be incorporated…We are mostly focused right now on how to make sure we can deliver, at the right price, the biggest, best sequel. That is what the audience is going to want and deserve after the experience we gave them the first time.”

Antoine Fuqua, director of the biopic, has claimed roughly 30% of the sequel has already been shot from unused footage from the first, which will most likely tap into the sexual abuse allegations that Jackson faced at the height of his career.

In any case, we’ll be awaiting the following story of Michael’s life onscreen.
