Antoine Fuqua (born May 30, 1965, Pittsburgh, PA) is an American film director and producer who built his reputation in the action and thriller genres. He started out directing music videos for artists like Prince, Toni Braxton and Coolio before making his feature debut with The Replacement Killers (1998). His crime thriller Training Day (2001) earned Denzel Washington an Academy Award for Best Actor, and the two have since collaborated five more times - most recently on The Equalizer 3 (2023). In 2026 his Michael Jackson biopic Michael crossed $1 billion at the global box office, becoming the highest-grossing music biopic ever made.
Michael (2026) crossed $1 billion at the global box office, becoming the first biopic ever to reach that milestone.
Fuqua and Denzel Washington's planned Netflix epic Hannibal was reported as 'effectively dead' after budget talks collapsed, according to cinematographer Robert Richardson.
Netflix halted pre-production on Fuqua's Hannibal - a historical epic about the Carthaginian general starring Denzel Washington - citing budget concerns over a reported $200M+ price tag.
Michael opened to $97M domestically and $217.4M worldwide in its debut weekend, the biggest opening ever for a music biopic.
The Michael Jackson biopic Michael was moved from its original April 2025 release date to a pre-summer 2026 slot by Lionsgate and Universal.
