Which country produced Michael (2026 film)?

Michael (2026 film) was produced in the United States.

The film is an American musical biographical drama about Michael Jackson. Its production was led by GK Films and Optimum Productions, while Lionsgate distributed it domestically and Universal Pictures handled international distribution.

Although the story follows an American performer whose career became global, the film’s country classification refers to its production origin, not every location shown in the story. The narrative includes the Jackson family’s early years in Gary, Indiana, the family’s move to California, and major stages in Jackson’s international career.

The film was directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan. Jaafar Jackson plays the adult Michael, and Colman Domingo and Nia Long portray Joe and Katherine Jackson. The combination of American production and a globally known subject gives the film both a domestic historical setting and international relevance.
