“Why aren’t you dead?” “We’re multiples!” Warner Bros has finally revealed the first full trailer for the sci-fi movie Mickey 17, the next new Bong Joon-ho movie since he directed the Oscar-winning Parasite back in 2019. This has taken a long time to get a final 2025 release date confirmed – it was originally set for early 2024, then WB held it back for a year and now it’s ready for release in January 2025. No other festivals or premieres anywhere. Robert Pattinson stars as Mickey Barnes, an “Expendable”: a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. There can’t be more than two of them at the same time, but after he goes missing he comes back to discover another. Based on the acclaimed sci-fi novel by Edward Ashton. The cast features Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, Steve Park, Patsy Ferran, and Angus Imrie. Well this looks absolutely INCREDIBLE. Are you kidding?! Even better than I was hoping. This is the kind of bold and crazy sci-fi filmmaking we’re in need of. Cannot wait.
Here’s the first official trailer for Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi movie Mickey 17, direct from WB’s YouTube:

Feature adaptation of the science fiction novel by Edward Ashton follows the story of Mickey 17, an “expendable,” who is a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact. Mickey 17 is directed by beloved Oscar-winning Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, director of the films Barking Dogs Never Bite, Memories of Murder, The Host, Mother, Snowpiercer, Okja, and Parasite previously. The screenplay is also written by Bong Joon-ho, adapted from the novel “Mickey7” written by Edward Ashton, published a few years ago. It’s produced by Dooho Choi, Dede Gardner, Bong Joon Ho, and Jeremy Kleiner. This was originally set for release in early 2024 but was delayed a year. Warner Bros will now debut Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17 movie in theaters worldwide starting on January 31st, 2025 early next year. How does it look?
