The final trailer for Michael, the highly anticipated biopic starring Jaafar Jackson as his late uncle Michael Jackson, was released this week. The film, which explores the King of Pop's rise to global fame, is scheduled for a wide theatrical and IMAX release on April 24, 2026. Engagement for the trailer has been massive, putting it at the top of the most anticipated list for the month. 

Close behind in hype is Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, a dark reimagining of the supernatural franchise from the director of Evil Dead Rise. This horror focused take is set to arrive in theaters this Friday, April 17, 2026. Other major trailers currently making waves include Spider Man: Brand New Day, which recently broke global viewership records with over 1 billion views. 

Industry professionals are also making headlines as over a thousand representatives signed an open letter opposing the planned takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount. Led by figures like Jane Fonda and Bryan Cranston, the letter warns of potential job cuts and increased costs for viewers.
