From Deadline
Lionsgate and Universal Pictures International’s Michael Jackson biopic Michael has cast Nia Long as Jackson matriarch Katherine Jackson.
The Antoine Fuqua directed movie is now shooting for an April 18, 2025, global theatrical release.
“Beyond Nia’s incredible talent, I was deeply moved by her connection to the material and her commitment to honoring Katherine and the love she had for her son,” said Michael producer Graham King.
Fuqua added, “Nia has delivered iconic performances throughout her career. I’ve been a fan for a long time because her characters stay with you. I’m excited to now work alongside her as she pours all of that into Katherine Jackson: a woman who was the glue, the rock, and the heart of the Jackson family during its best and its most turbulent times.”

Another Biopic of Michael Jackson we don't need. We know the beginning, middle and end. I am not watching as I watched the first 8 already. Enough already. Same with color purple and slave movies Oprah.
The Jacksons movie will always be a fave of mine. Watch that and a few interviews the family and Mike did(separately) from back in the day and you will have all you need to know about the man. That flex, and bodyguard pov movie were terrible.
We know very little about the real life of the Jacksons and we're not going to learn anything from authorized biopics. Not worth watching.
Who's going to play Bubbles?
^^^ A chimp lighter than the Jacksons will play Bubbles.
They’ll get one of the light skinned biracial nephews to play bubbles.
Unless they are really going to explain why MJ married Presley, or explicitly why he only wanted to have white kids, they can keep it.
