Mickey 17: the new Bong Joon-ho postponed for several months
The Parasite director’s film takes the Easter weekend slot vacated by Michael.
Mickey takes the place of Michael. Warner Bros. announces that the new film of Bong Joon-ho is pushed back. Mickey 17 will no longer be released on January 31, 2025 as planned, but on April 18, 2025 (April 16 in France).
A new date which is not insignificant: the studio has in fact decided to take the place left vacant by the biopic of Michael Jacksonpostponed to October 2025. Mickey 17 offers itself a good spot, becoming the big outing of the Easter weekend.
That being said, this hasty postponement, a few weeks before the release, is not very reassuring, knowing that Mickey 17 was initially scheduled to arrive in theaters in March 2024. The film will therefore ultimately be released a little over a year late…
Crazy SF thriller, Mickey 17 will see Robert Pattinson play as “expendable”, a disposable employee of a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. After an iteration dies, a new body is regenerated each time, with most of Mickey’s memories.
This is the return of Bong Joon-ho in Hollywood cinema, 8 years later Okja And Snowpiercer. Remember that the South Korean director won an Oscar and won awards for his last film, Parasite (in 2019).
