The estate-approved biopic on Michael Jackson is reportedly in limbo due to child molestation allegations that continue to haunt the late King of Pop, who died in 2009. Distributors for “Michael” announced in November the release date for the film would be rescheduled from April 2025 to later this year,

The upcoming biopic about Michael Jackson reportedly needs to be reshot after a past legal agreement from an accuser was recently discovered. According to a report from Puck on Thursday, January 23, the film initially included the lawsuit against the late musician - who died in 2009 at age 50 - filed by Evan Chandler.

Well, the third act of the Thriller artist‘s biopic covers this issue at length, with director Antoine Fuqua depicting Jackson in the movie as a “naïve victim of the money-grubbing Chandlers” juxtaposed with a scene of Jordan’s father “threatening to leverage his son’s accusations to destroy his ex-wife and Jackson’s career.

The release date of the highly anticipated biopic about Michael Jackson is being pushed back. "Michael" was wrapped last year and was set to be released in April. But now, according to TMZ, the film about the King of Pop is being pushed back six months to November 2025.
