The first trailer for the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic dropped Thursday ... and boy does it deliver.
Our first sneak peek at the movie "Michael" opens with the eponymous icon in the studio with his legendary hit collaborator, Quincy Jones -- played by Kendrick Sampson.
Q says, "I know you’ve been waiting a long time for this. The tracks are made, the songs are ready. Let’s take it from the top" ... launching us into footage of recreations from Michael's childhood and illustrious career.
The late singer is played by his nephew Jaafar Jackson, who seems to nail his uncle's mannerisms flawlessly.
The film -- opening April 24, 2026 -- is directed by Antoine Fuqua, and also stars Miles Teller as attorney John Branca, Colman Domingo as Joe Jackson, Nia Long as Katherine Jackson, Jessica Sula as LaToya Jackson, Larenz Tate as Berry Gordy, and Kat Graham as Diana Ross.
