Michael Jackson Biopic 'Michael' (2026) Has Shocking Credits Reveal

SPOILER-This post includes spoilers from Michael (2026).

The brand-new Michael Jackson biopic Michaelis hitting theaters April 24, 2026, but early screenings of the new flick just revealed a completely unexpected announcement.

Before the credits begin to roll, the screen goes black and then, in an MCU post credits scene-style reveal, confirms, "His story will continue." Although that was not an outright declaration of a sequel movie, the implications that a follow-up to Michael is coming are clear.

Although a sequel was completely unexpected, particularly because the biopic genre isn't exactly known for its sequel stories, the news does make sense in the context of the movie. Michael goes all the way back to Michael Jackson's early years, before he became the famous superstar, and it then spans multiple decades, through to the Jackson 5's final tour together, the 1984 Victory Tour.

The movie concludes just after that tour ends, with Jackson declaring on stage that this will be the brothers' final tour together. With that announcement, which the movie frames as a complete surprise to his father, Joseph Jackson, Michael Jackson is entering a brand-new phase of his life that represents a newfound independence in his personal life as well as in his music career.

There is therefore much that Michael didn't touch on, from some of Jackson's most well-known songs of all time to his three children. It's unclear how far into the future this apparent sequel movie will go, although it would make sense for the follow-up story to span decades of his life, just as Michael did.

This reveal is also great news for fans of Michael Jackson, as Michael was a visually stunning, well-crafted depiction of the King of Pop's life. A huge factor in the success of the movie is the fact that Jackson's real life nephew, Jaafar Jackson, is playing the star, and he perfectly captures the essence of his uncle, down to his iconic moonwalk. No additional information on the upcoming movie has been confirmed, but the message at the end was clear: This story is not over.
