Broke Skin

Michael, the highly anticipated biopic from Lionsgate and Universal Pictures and directed by Antoine Fuqua will now debut on April 24, 2026, instead of its originally slated October 2025 release.

The decision—first reported by Deadline—comes after the principal photography wrapped in May 2024, but extensive reshoots and a lengthy initial cut required extra post‑production time. Studio executives had previously hinted at a delay while determining whether to split Michael into two parts, given its ambitious scope and $155 million budget.
