Michael Jackson Biopic Don Hammer, Trailer Don Land!

Naija, 2026 – E be like say we go finally fit see how dem wan run dis Michael Jackson biopic wey don dey cause wahala since e start. The film, wey dem just drop trailer for, supposed land for cinema April 24, 2026, and e don already gather all plenty gist, wahala, and of course, plenty delays. Na by May 2024 dem finish filming, but release date don dey change pass change am by wind. E start for April 2025, then go October, before e finally land for 2026. Wetin go happen next?

Dis movie na work of director Antoine Fuqua, wey sabi action films like Training Day, and him dey try jump enter dis biopic level. The script na from John Logan wey don get Oscar nod before for films like Gladiator and Hugo, so you fit sabi say dem dey come ready, no be small.

And abeg, sha, who go fit play the King of Pop if no be his own blood? Jaafar Jackson, wey be Michael own nephew, wan carry the matter for head. E go dey act as him uncle, and we go see how dat connection go fit turn out. Colman Domingo go play Joe Jackson, and of course, we get other stars like Nia Long and Laura Harrier too. Wetin dem all go fit contribute to this song and dance of life e go be? No be small.

Producer Graham King talk say dem no go sanitize Michael life, but dem go try humanize am. I swear, him no go fit please everybody wey don get their own view about Michael. As e talk am, “Michael’s life was complicated,” and na true talk. The man no bi saint, but dem dey try paint am as the legend wey he be.

But make I yarn small tightening matter—we go fit forget the serious allegations wey don dey follow Michael since 2019? Director Dan Reed of Leaving Neverland don already read the script and talk say e no dey address the matter well. E even call am “startlingly disingenuous.” If na true, den which side of the story we go hear for this film? E dey ready to turn clear? Maybe we dey fit hold unto hope for the trailer wey just land.

Now, no forget say Paris Jackson, Michael pikin, come drop her own bombshell too. Dem don dey talk say she dey support the film, but she later clear am for Instagram to say she no get any hand for di project. Chai, wetin be dis? She talk say she read early draft of script, but the feedback wey she give? Nobody hear am, so she waka come out. Simple and straight: “Not my monkeys not my circus.” Na who go fit match her words?

With $155 million budget, we dey look the film as one big bet for Lionsgate. If dem no land am well, wahala no go finish. Just last month, other music biopics like e no dey perform well at box office, so e get as dis one go land. Na why dem sabi say dey no need to waste time. Film don dey hot and everybody dey wait for this one. As we dey step into April 2026, dem better dey ready to face the music, wala, and all dem celebrity gossips wey go follow am.
