Robert Pattinson’s Sci-Fi Starrer ‘Mickey 17’ Planned for Release in 2025


The film Mickey 17, starring Robert Pattinson, will be released next year.

The movie, directed by Oscar-winning Parasite director Bong Joon Ho, will be released on January 31, 2025, according to a Warner Bros. statement on Tuesday, via The Hollywood Reporter.

Last month, the business pulled it from its previously scheduled release date of March 29, 2024, due to a months-long SAG-AFTRA strike last year.

The delay occurred throughout the production stage, so it came as little surprise to many.

An adaption of the 2022 novel Mickey 7, by author Edward Ashton, The Batman actor will play the title character, a disposable space colonist who is the eighth iteration of a man named Mickey Barnes.

According to the press release, “Each colony features an expendable, a crewmember who takes deadly jobs but who are then restored via clone bodies when they die.”

Director Bong is likely to put his own touch on the source work, which will also star Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.

The first book was followed by a sequel, Antimatter Blues, released last year. It remains to be seen whether the sequel will be included in the adaptation.
