Michael, the forthcoming Michael Jackson biopic, is facing a potential delay over the film’s controversial third act, which has legal implications. Puck reports that a 1994 legal agreement between the family of a then 13-year-old boy named Jordan Chandler and Jackson’s estate has thrown a wrench into the film’s completion.

"Michael," starring Jaafar Jackson, faces controversy over its depiction of abuse allegations and a $23 million settlement.

A key agreement in a massive settlement was reportedly overlooked while vetting the script, leaving producers scrambling to do rewrites and reshoots.
