Miles Teller has joined the cast of the Michael Jackson biopic “Michael” in the role of John Branca, Jackson’s high-powered attorney who helped shepherd his career from boy band member to King of Pop.
Antoine Fuqua is directing the film from a screenplay by John Logan. Production is currently underway and “Michael” will be released in theaters by Lionsgate on April 18, 2025.
Branca was hired by Jackson after he fired his father Joe Jackson as manager. Branca helped the pop start purchase ATV Music Publishing in 1985 for $47.5 million, which held the copyrights to songs from The Beatles.
