Michael (2026) - Leaks, spoilers and rumours thread.

Seems likely that at least "Hot Street" is getting a release. It's gonna be such a let down for me if that's all they end up releasing, I know the Estate has no fault that the song leaked, and I don't expect them to release a full album but I hope they'll put out at least 1 or 2 extra songs that are unheard. It's been a 12 full years since their last music release (I don't count Thriller 40 since it was a half-assed re-issue) so I hope there's something there that'll come as a surprise for the fans.
 
I'm imagining Q telling Michael to keep still, and then Hot Street comes on and he starts dancing in the recording studio. That could be the music video.
 
I just read an article that claimed Antoine Fuqua is refusing to cut a 9 minute scene that studio fears will "alienate" the fan base from the film.



The 9 minutes in question are reported to be a near minute by minute account of Michael passing away.



I've lost the article and to be fair, it was very tabloid. Just wondering if anybody else had heard this?

If it's true, then I hope Antoine Fuqua will win this one. If Prince and Jaafar are okay with it, then I'm okay with it. Michael died in very unique circumstances and all we have to document his death are tabloid documentaries that dehumanize him. Hopefully the movie can show it in a way that will humanize him and treat it with empathy for once.

If there is Part 2 then it should end like that and not this movie.

Wait... how does this work if the movie is supposed to wrap it up with the Bad tour? And if indeed they have the footage - was it planned to have a two-parter from the very beginning?

Sounds very fake
 
If they did film anything like that then it would probably be used in a 2nd film and not this one, they've made it pretty clear that this film is about his rise to fame.

I personally don't think they'd include something like that, though, just doesn't sound believable to me.

His passing stopped the world from spinning. This would be a suitable and powerful way to immortalize that momentum and to recapture that had it not been for Murray's extreme and unimaginable irresponsibility... we wouldn't be talking about this movie today.

Unfortunately I believe MJ was destined to die young due to his lifestyle, addictions and demons. He was very troubled in his later years.

Even if you remove Murray, the end result would still be the same - just in another way.
 
Oh I can't wait until 4/24/26....San Francisco

Not sure if I'll choose the IMAX or a small theater

Let there be plenty of MJ fans dressed to the nines

Hopefully Burning Man's Michael Camp founders will be there

It's gonna be lit!

In the meantime, I'll be at opening night of MJ the Musical next month in San Francisco. I missed the 2024 tour.

HeeHee --Ow!

Sounds pretty embarrassing. Surely the estate aren't that desperate? What next, a Kpop Demon Hunters remix?!

And I thought I was the negative one on here 🙄

I’m just trying to think of the best way possible for MJ to score another hit single.
 
If it folllows the release schedule of Strangers part 2 to part 3, part 2 of Michael would be due around september. Hope its really the year of Michael in 2 parts, but 2027 is more likely.

Pretty massive spoiler online through the media day starting today. Surrounding when the film ends. I won't post it just to be super safe
 
Very interesting, I wonder if they just mean last scene for Joe and not Michael.

Unless they’re starting with that Bad tour performance then going all the way back and ending with Victory 😬
