Bong Joon Ho ‘s upcoming sci-fi comedy Mickey 17 starring Robert Pattinson , Steven Yuen and Mark Ruffalo has set a new release date. Originally expected to release on January 31, 2025, the new date sees the film now premiere three months later. Warner Bros.
has shifted the date to make room for the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic titled Michael from director Antoine Fuqua, which was originally set for April 18, 2025. Now, Mickey 17 takes over the April 18 date for the Easter holiday release. A Warner Bros.
spokesperson said in a statement, “When the April 18 date became available, we quickly moved to secure it for Mickey 17 . We’re thrilled with the new date, and very happy the film will be available to audiences in IMAX.” The film is based on the 2022 novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton.
The sci-fi thriller story line will see Pattinson as an “expendable” employee by the name of Mickey Barnes as he is sent on dangerous missions to colonize an ice planet. When one version of Mickey dies, his duplicates replace him while retaining most of his memories. The cast also includes Naomi Ackie and Toni Collette.
Look out for the film releasing on April 18, 2025..
