Team behind ‘Michael’ hinted at possible sequel

Recently, while speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about the film, Adam Fogelson said that ‘Michael’ does not cover the entire story of the ‘Thriller’ singer.


Fogelson, the chair of the production house behind the biopic, stated, “This first movie stops well short of telling the full story of Michael Jackson. There is a lot of amazing music in this catalogue that this part of the story doesn’t get to. So, we have said that there is room for another film.”
He further added, “I can tell you that the filmmaking team has been hard at work preparing for a second film, and when the right moment comes, we would be excited to announce that it is definitively happening. … I’m encouraged that there is more story to tell and that we have a really good shot at being in a position to deliver.”
