“Michael” has moonwalked past expectations with a $217 million global opening weekend, delivering one of the biggest debuts ever for a music biopic — even as critics and controversy swirl around the film’s portrayal of the King of Pop.

Lionsgate has released the first trailer for Michael, Antoine Fuqua’s biopic exploring the life and legacy of Michael Jackson — tracing his path from a child prodigy in Gary, Indiana, to one of the most influential entertainers in history. The teaser will also screen in theaters ahead of Now You See Me: The Final Act.

The first image of the actor portraying the main role in the biographical film about Michael Jackson has been released online.
