Antoine Fuqua's Michael, set to premiere soon, has drawn criticism for excluding Michael Jackson's sexual-abuse allegations from its narrative. Multiple critics say the film foregrounds Jackson's artistry while omitting Leaving Neverland accusations and the legal history of acquittals and settlements. The Times of India reports a sequel to Michael is being considered, suggesting studios may continue producing Jackson-focused projects despite the omitted controversies.
