With the upcoming release of the Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, a wave of classic re-releases is forming part of the broader promotional campaign surrounding the film. The biopic, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson as the King of Pop, is scheduled for a global theatrical release in April 2026.
In Germany on April 23, 2026, two official re-releases have been announced to coincide with the renewed attention on Michael Jackson’s life and career:
-
Moonwalker will be re-released as a limited Mediabook edition including both Blu-ray and DVD formats.
-
Michael Jackson’s This Is It will also be re-issued on Blu-ray, giving fans another opportunity to experience the rehearsal documentary that captured Jackson preparing for his planned comeback concerts.
These titles appear to be just the beginning of a larger wave of catalogue reissues and collector’s editions tied to the biopic’s promotional cycle. In addition to film re-releases, new products connected to the movie, such as special editions, music compilations, and exclusive merchandise, are also expected to roll out. Altogether, this campaign reflects a coordinated effort to celebrate Michael Jackson’s artistic legacy across both film and music in the lead-up to the biopic’s release.
