Robert Pattinson over and over in the Mickey 17 trailer

Remember when Parasite took the world by storm? Well, get ready for another mind-bender from Bong Joon Ho. Warner Bros. just unveiled the trailer for Mickey 17, starring Robert Pattinson, and it's got us all buzzing with excitement.

Based on Edward Ashton‘s 2022 novel Mickey7, this sci-fi thriller stars our favorite brooding heartthrob, Robert Pattinson. He plays Mickey Barnes, an “expendable” employee sent on risky missions to colonize an ice planet. Here's the kicker: when one Mickey bites the dust, a new one pops up with most of his memories intact. Talk about job security, right?

Fans might also be looking forward to a scene in the book where one version of Mickey has sex with another. At the end of the trailer, the moment is hinted at when two shirtless Pattinsons appear to be kneeling on a bed in front of Naomi Ackie’s Nasha Adjaya, who grabs both of their faces and proclaims: “This is so exciting.”

Joining Pattinson on this wild ride are Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo. It's like a who's who of Hollywood talent!

Bong's not just directing; he's wearing multiple hats as a writer and producer through his company Offscreen.

What's the Buzz?

Don't panic if you've heard different release dates floating around. Warner Bros. has been playing musical chairs with the schedule, but they've finally settled on January 2025. Why the shuffle? Word on the street is they wanted to snag an Imax release and give the team more time to polish things up, especially after those Hollywood strikes shook things up.

Mickey 17 marks Bong's first big screen outing since Parasite took home the Oscar for best picture – a first for a foreign language film. Remember how it swept the awards? Best original screenplay, director, and international feature. Bong's got quite the track record with hits like Snowpiecer, Okja, and The Host.

Pattinson last appeared brooding in the Batsuit in The Batman. With Tenet and High Life under his belt, he's no stranger to mind-bending sci-fi.

Mark your calendars, folks! Mickey 17 hits theaters on January 31, 2025. Trust me, you won't want to miss this one.
