Lionsgate is pushing ahead on Michael 2, the sequel to its blockbuster Michael Jackson biopic, with plans to roll cameras as early as late 2026 or the start of 2027.
Motion picture chief Adam Fogelson laid out the timeline on the studio’s latest earnings call, flagging a release window that runs from the end of 2027 into the first half of 2028.
On the timeline itself, Fogelson signaled that the sequel can lean partly on footage already in the can.
A number of sequences filmed for the first movie went unused and are now likely to migrate into the second.
He added that the studio’s attention is currently on delivering the biggest, best sequel it can at the right price.
