TL;DR

Director Antoine Fuqua says there’s “absolutely” enough filmed material—about a third of it—to support a Michael Jackson biopic sequel, and he’d like to direct it. The film humanizes Jackson and leaves out the Chandler abuse allegations due to a settlement, with extensive reshoots shaping a setup for a possible second installment after the movie’s record-breaking opening.
