Lionsgate has released a new official trailer for Michael, the much-anticipated biopic chronicling the life of pop icon Michael Jackson, offering a closer look at his family roots and early influences. The film is set to release in theatres and IMAX worldwide on April 24. The trailer places particular emphasis on Michael Jackson`s upbringing under the guidance of his father, Joe Jackson, portrayed by Colman Domingo.
In the trailer, Joe tells his children, "In this life, you`re either a winner or you`re a loser," underscoring his role as both a demanding father and the manager who shaped the Jackson Five. Nia Long, playing Michael`s mother Katherine Jackson, provides a contrasting emotional note, telling her son, "I knew you were different the moment you were born. You have a special light."
