As the much-anticipated biopic “Michael,” directed by Antoine Fuqua and featuring Jaafar Jackson in the lead role, gears up for its global theatrical debut in April 2026, a significant promotional strategy is emerging. This includes a series of classic re-releases that pay homage to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
On April 23, 2026, Germany will witness two notable re-releases coinciding with the revitalized interest in Jackson’s extraordinary life and contributions to music. The iconic film “Moonwalker” will be launched anew as a limited Mediabook edition, ensuring fans can enjoy it in both Blu-ray and DVD formats—a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Additionally, “Michael Jackson’s This Is It,” a documentary that chronicles the rehearsals for Jackson’s intended comeback concerts, will also be reissued on Blu-ray. This allows fans to revisit a pivotal moment in Jackson’s illustrious career.
These releases are anticipated to be just the start of a broader initiative aimed at celebrating Michael Jackson’s legacy. Alongside the film re-releases, a variety of new products are expected, including special editions, music compilations, and exclusive merchandise, all linked to the biopic’s promotional campaign. This approach not only brings attention to Jackson’s artistic achievements but also serves to keep his memory alive for both longtime fans and new audiences.
As anticipation builds, this coordinated effort reflects a significant cultural moment, allowing a new generation to appreciate the impact of Michael Jackson on music and film.
