by · Bloody Disgusting

Bong Joon Ho will return with the sci-fi movie Mickey 17, and the sci-fi comedy has shifted into a later release date. Warner Bros. has now set course for Easter Weekend.

Mickey 17 now hits theaters on April 18, 2025, moving from its January 31 date.

Robert Pattinson stars alongside Toni Collette, Steven Yeun, Mark Ruffalo and Naomi Ackie in Mickey 17, a hybrid science fiction comedy movie based on a 2022 novel.

In the upcoming movie written and directed by Bong Joon Ho, “An unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living.”

The trailer indicates Pattinson will be turning in a memorable performance with multiple interations of his character to juggle. Not to mention that accent. Watch below.

The film is produced by Dede Gardner (Oscar winner for “Moonlight,” “12 Years a Slave”), Jeremy Kleiner (Oscar winner for “Moonlight,” “12 Years a Slave”), Bong Joon Ho and Dooho Choi (“Okja,” “Snowpiercer”), and it’s based on the novel Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton.

Executive producers are Brad Pitt, Jesse Ehrman, Peter Dodd and Marianne Jenkins. Director of photography is Darius Khondji (Oscar nomination for “Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths,” “Okja”). Production designer is Fiona Crombie (Oscar nomination for “The Favourite,” “Cruella”). It is edited by Yang Jinmo (Oscar nomination for “Parasite,” “Okja”). Visual effects supervisor is Dan Glass (“Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore,” “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw”). Costume designer is Catherine George (“Okja,” Snowpiercer”).

Warner Bros. Pictures presents An Offscreen Production / A Kate Street Picture Company Production.

Here’s to hoping this new release date for Mickey 17 sticks. The sci-fi comedy was initially dated for March 29, 2024, before getting bumped to 2025. Keep your fingers crossed and stay tuned for additional news as they arrive.
