The new teaser for "Michael"

The new teaser for “Michael”

There’s some movement around “Michael“, the new highly anticipated biopic about Michael Jackson. Why highly anticipated? Because the film’s first trailer set a record shortly after it was released: It’s the most-watched preview of a musical biopic ever. And now another teaser fuels enthusiasm.

“Get ready” we read in the new teaser dedicated to “Michael”, which will be released in cinemas on April 24, 2026. We will soon have other details on the biopic which tells the life of the king of pop, played here by his nephew Jaafar Jackson: the promotion of the film should officially begin at Grammy Awards 2026broadcast Sunday 1 February. While details are still strictly confidential, industry sources suggest a segment dedicated to the biopic is planned that will feature more than just a regular trailer.

Perhaps an exclusive tribute or even the debut of previously unreleased footage from the film; whatever the reveal, the presence of Jaafar Jackson and other key cast members at the Grammys ceremony suggests that the moment will be more than symbolic. The Grammy Awards, which have always been linked to the legacy of Michael Jackson, would be the ideal stage for such a launch. Jackson remains one of the most awarded and influential artists in Grammy history, and tying the film’s promotion to music’s biggest night would align perfectly with his artistic impact.
