Warner Bros. has confirmed that Parasite and Snowpiercer director Bong Joon-Ho’s next sci-fi film, Mickey 17, will hit theaters (including IMAX) on January 31, 2025.
Until today, Mickey 17 had been without a release date for six weeks. The film was previously scheduled 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 novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton, Mickey 17 stars Robert Pattinson as Mickey Barnes, a crew member on a space colonization mission known as an ‘Expendable’. Expendables are sent on suicide missions, although when one dies they regenerate into a new body with most of their memories.
Warner Bros. released an extremely short teaser for the film in December 2022.
Pattinson will star alongside a packed cast, including Naomi Ackie, Toni Colette, Mark Ruffalo and Steven Yeun.
