Mickey 17: Movie Overview
Mickey 17 is an upcoming science fiction black comedy film written, directed, and co-produced by Bong Joon-ho, based on the 2022 novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton. The film stars Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.
Mickey 17 is scheduled to be theatrically released on January 28, 2025 in South Korea, followed by the rest of the world on January 31, by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Wanting to get out of Earth, Mickey Barnes signs up to be an “expendable”: a disposable employee where after one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of their memories intact. After one of his “multiples”, Mickey 17, unintentionally survives a human expedition to colonize the ice world Niflheim, he goes head-to-head with a new multiple, Mickey 18.
A film adaptation of Edward Ashton’s novel Mickey7 was announced to be in development in January 2022, with Bong Joon-ho writing, directing, and producing for Warner Bros. Pictures. Robert Pattinson was in talks to star in the film at the time of the announcement. Pattinson was confirmed to star in May 2022, with Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo joining the cast. In July, Steven Yeun was added to the cast.
Production began at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden on August 2, 2022 and concluded in December 2022.
Charles Yu wrote additional literary material for the film.
Mickey 17 is set to be released in the United States on January 31, 2025 by Warner Bros. Pictures. It was originally scheduled to be theatrically released on March 29, 2024. However, it was indefinitely taken off the release schedule in January 2024 due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike and delays in post-production, with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire instead taking over the date, before the film received its new date a month later. In March 2024, it was announced that the film would be released in South Korea on January 28, 2025, three days before its global release.
