For weeks, fans have been abuzz with speculation about the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic’s trailer. Initially, many believed it would debut on Halloween, capitalising on the spooky season’s popularity. However, recent whispers suggest a different strategy: the trailer might first grace cinema screens in November, coinciding with the release of Wicked: For Good. This approach would make the trailer exclusively available to moviegoers for several weeks, adding an element of anticipation for those eager to catch a glimpse of the film.
Wicked: For Good’s November Release
Wicked: For Good, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2024 film Wicked, is set to hit theatres on November 21, 2025. Directed by Jon M. Chu, the film continues the story of Elphaba and Glinda, portrayed by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, respectively. Early screenings are available for Amazon Prime members on November 17, 2025, through a special promotion.
The Michael Jackson Biopic: What We Know So Far
The Michael Jackson biopic, titled Michael, is directed by Antoine Fuqua and stars Jaafar Jackson, Michael’s nephew, in the lead role. The film chronicles Michael Jackson’s life and career, from his time with The Jackson 5 to his solo success and the challenges he faced. Originally slated for release in April 2025, the film has been delayed multiple times and is now scheduled for release on April 24, 2026.
A Cinematic Strategy
The decision to premiere the trailer in cinemas alongside Wicked: For Good would be a strategic move, ensuring that the trailer reaches a wide audience of moviegoers. This tactic mirrors the approach taken by Wicked: For Good, which released its first trailer in cinemas before making it available online.
As the release date for the Michael Jackson biopic approaches, fans can look forward to more updates and official announcements. Until then, the speculation continues…
not being legally allowed to touch on the chandler accusations, considering they filmed footage at least referring to the 93 raid of Neverland will hurt the movie. I’m expecting a fluff piece for the fans.
