In its first six hours, it had racked up north of 30 million global views, which was 50% more than the trailer traffic over that same period for John Wick: Chapter 4. <\/p>\n<p>Moviegoers can see the Michael teaser trailer next weekend attached to the release of Lionsgate\u2019s Now You See: Now You Don\u2019t. The Antoine Fuqua directed, Graham King produced biopic hits theaters on April 24, 2026. Jackson nephew, Jaafar Jackson plays his megastar uncle on screen. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tOther castmembers include Nia Long as Katherine Jackson, Coleman Domingo as Joe Jackson, and Miles Teller as John Branca.
