We had to wait longer than expected, contenting ourselves with first cryptic images for several months, but the release of Mickey 17 has never been so close. In a few weeks, Robert Pattinson will appear in front of Bong Joon-ho’s camera in the adaptation of an extraordinary science fiction work. This is the first time since his coronation for Parasites that the director returns to the forefront. Mickey 17 is obviously expected around the corner, especially since it represents a huge risk for Warner Bros. The firm paid almost 150 million dollars for the realization of the father’s project Snowpiercer et Okjaa tidy sum for a film not operating within a famous license. The new trailer is particularly reassuring, the film looks very good.
We find Mickey, played by Robert Pattinson and who is about to sign up to participate in a space mission. He is applying to become a “consumable”cannon fodder for scientists exploring a distant planet. He is sent to scout hostile areas, and mobilized for dangerous experiments. Concretely, Mickey is ready to make any sacrifices for the smooth running of the exploration mission… even to die. It is also in a clone that his consciousness is now evolving. But when he miraculously survives a dizzying fall, and his successor has already been created, a war begins between Mickey 17 and Mickey 18. We find Bong Joon-ho’s taste for the absurd and comedy in what serves as an introduction to the universe imagined by Edward Ashton in 2022.
A deadly distribution
Robert Pattinson will not evolve alone in this science fiction universe. The actor should act a lot, but will also have the opportunity to share the screen with Naomi Ackie (Star Wars 9), Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead), Toni Collette (Heredity) or even Mark Ruffalo (Avengers). Behind the scenes, Bong Joon-ho is the direction and writing of the film. He had acquired the rights before publication of the work Mickey 7, proof if any were needed that the project inspired the director. Moreover, Warner Bros is producing and distributing what promises to be the project to watch closely at the start of 2025.

Its release is scheduled for March 5 in our green lands. The results will be particularly observed by the company which has not spared expense. It must be said that after a rather successful year 2023, Warner Bros. had some disappointments. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga did not meet with the expected success. If Dune: Part Two et Beetlejuice Beetlejuice were acclaimed by the public, odd ones like Joker: Folie à Deux weighed on the finances of the studio which is already hoping for a year 2025 marked by critical and commercial success. The firm has great ambitions, between relaunching the DC universe, reconnecting with seasoned directors and proving that its catalog is worth the detour.
