Bong Joon-Ho’s Mickey 17 Gets an Official Release Date

Warner Bros. has confirmed Parasite and Snowpiercer director Bong Joon-Ho’s upcoming sci-fi movie Mickey 17 will hit cinemas (including IMAX) on January 31, 2025.

Until today, Mickey 17 had been without a release date for the past six weeks. The film was previously intended to arrive on March 29, 2024, but in January Warner Bros. brought forward the release of Godzilla vs. Kong: The New Empire to that date and removed Mickey 17 from the schedule.

Based on the Edward Ashton novel Mickey7, Mickey 17 stars Robert Pattinson as Mickey Barnes, a crew member on a space colonisation mission who is known as an ‘Expendable’. Expendables are sent on suicide missions, though when one dies they are regenerated in a new body with most of their memories.

Warner Bros. published an extremely brief teaser for the film back in December 2022.

Pattinson will star alongside a stacked cast, including Naomi Ackie, Toni Colette, Mark Ruffalo, and Steven Yeun.
