Actress Nia Long has been roped in to essay a crucial role in late pop singer Michael Jackson’s biopic. Nia will essay the role of Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, in director Antoine Fuqua’s upcoming biographical drama.
On having Nia on board, Fuqua said, “Nia has delivered iconic performances throughout her career. I’ve been a fan for a long time because her characters stay with you. I’m excited to now work alongside her as she pours all of that into Katherine Jackson: a woman who was the glue, the rock, and the heart of the Jackson family during its best and its most turbulent times.”
Michael is currently in production and slated to hit theatres on April 18, 2025.
