Mickey 17 with Robert Pattinson: Bad news for one of the most anticipated films of 2025

His latest feature film Parasite hit theaters in June 2019 and won the coveted Palme d’Or. So it’s been a little over five years, an eternity for a director as beloved and talented as Bong Joon-ho, especially since his new feature film is already in production with no end in sight.

If all had gone as planned, Mickey 17 would have had a chance to hit the charts by the end of 2024, as it was originally slated for a March release. Before it was pushed to January 29, 2025, the date we thought was set when the awesome first trailer was released. But no.

Warner has decided to once again delay the sci-fi film starring Robert Pattinson (in a double role), which will now be released in our theaters on April 16. If many see in this bad news the fear of a copy review with a lot of filming, the explanation is on the side of Universal and Lionsgate, who delayed the Michael Jackson biopic from mid-April to a month. in October and released the IMAX theaters intended for it.

From Michael to Mickey

“When the April 18 date became vacant, we quickly moved to give it to Mickey 17”said A Warner spokeswoman Explain that the thriller Companion will take over the slot from Bong Joon-ho’s film. “We are very pleased with this new date and know that the film will be available in IMAX to the public.”

Inspired by the novel “Mickey 7” By Edward Ashton, Mickey 17 tells the story of the Expendable: a volunteer hired to investigate a threat facing humanity, whose memories are transferred to a new body after each death. Until the day he discovers two versions of him coexisting. And if you’re wondering why the title changed between the book and the movie, the reason is simple: “That’s because I’ll kill him ten more times.”Bong Joon-ho said last April. We’ll just have to wait a little longer before we see these dead in the cinema.
