‘Michael 2’ All but Confirmed as Lionsgate Weighs Next Chapter of Jackson Story

‘Michael 2’ All but Confirmed as Lionsgate Weighs Next Chapter of Jackson Story

As Michael continues drawing enthusiastic audiences, there has been growing speculation surrounding the possibility of a Michael 2 that would cover the rest of the pop icon’s story. The first film chronicles his rise to fame, but was unable to tell the full story. Given Michael’s record-breaking box office success for a biopic, many suspected it was only a matter of time before a sequel was announced. In an interview with Matt Belloni on his On The Town podcast, Lionsgate film chair Adam Fogelson seemingly confirmed that Michael 2 is happening. “It’s going to happen whether it’s this year or next year,” he said. “I think the likelihood is very high.”

After eight full weeks in theaters, Captain America: Brave New World is finally on the verge of crossing $200 million in the domestic box office. With a weekend gross of $1.4 million and a cumulative domestic total now at $199.1 million, the milestone is expected to be reached within the next several days. But while this may appear on the surface to be a hard-won victory, the broader context paints a far less triumphant picture for Marvel Studios.

James Cameron returned to the spotlight this week—albeit via video from New Zealand—with the unveiling of the first footage from Avatar: Fire and Ash at CinemaCon. Billed as a major December release, the third film in the franchise is already drawing praise from exhibitors impressed by the visuals and scale. Zoe Saldaña appeared in person to introduce the clip, hyping up two new Na’vi clans and a more emotional journey for Jake and Neytiri (yes, those are their names because you probably forgot).

But as flashy as this presentation was, it leaves behind a question that has haunted the Avatar franchise for over a decade: How can a series make billions of dollars and yet vanish from the cultural conversation the moment it leaves theaters?
