A sequel to the Michael Jackson biopic has officially been confirmed, with Michael 2 set to begin filming in 2027, according to Lionsgate chairman Adam Fogelson.
While details on the sequel’s timeline are still up in the air, Fuqua is expected to return once he wraps up another project with Denzel Washington. The next instalment could focus on major cultural moments, including Michael Jackson’s iconic Super Bowl halftime show, often regarded as one of the greatest of all time.
Fogelson also briefly addressed whether the sequel would explore allegations tied to Jackson’s later years, describing it as “a really complicated question” and saying now may not be the right time to tackle it.
The original film is already being tipped for huge global numbers, with projections suggesting it could land somewhere between $700 million and $1 billion worldwide.
