Robert Pattinson-starrer ‘Mickey 17’ Release Date Postponed to 2025

The release date for the highly-anticipated film ‘Mickey 17,’ directed by South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho and starring Robert Pattinson, has been postponed. Originally scheduled for March 29, 2024, Warner Bros. has rescheduled the release to January 31, 2025. The decision to delay the film’s release was made due to last year’s strikes and other production changes.

The new release date in January 2025 also allows ‘Mickey 17’ to open in IMAX, which was not possible earlier as those dates were already reserved for other films. Additionally, the new date coincides with the Lunar New Year, a significant movie-going event globally. January is typically considered a box office dead zone, providing an opportunity for ‘Mickey 17’ to benefit from pent-up demand.

The film, adapted from Edward Ashton’s 2022 novel, is described as a high-concept cerebral thriller similar to ‘The Martian’ and ‘Dark Matter.’ Robert Pattinson plays an “expendable” employee on a human expedition sent to colonize an ice planet, who refuses to let his replacement clone take his place. The star-studded cast also includes Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.

‘Mickey 17’ marks Bong Joon-ho’s first feature since ‘Parasite,’ which became the highest-grossing Korean film in history and the first non-English language movie to win Best Picture at the Oscars. The film is produced by Bong’s company Offscreen, along with Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner of Plan B and Dooho Choi of Kate Street Pictures.
