Mickey 17 is an upcoming American science fiction film written, directed, and coproduced by Bong Joon-ho based on the 2022 novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton. The film stars Robert Pattinson, Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo. It is set to be theatrically released by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Premise

Mickey 17 is an "expendable", a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact.

Cast

Production

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.[1] Pattinson was confirmed to star in May 2022, with Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo joining the cast.[2] In July, Steven Yeun was added to the cast.[3]

Production began at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden on August 2, 2022[4] and concluded in December 2022.[5]

Charles Yu wrote additional literary material for the film.[6]

Release

Mickey 17 was originally scheduled to be theatrically released on March 29, 2024, by Warner Bros. Pictures.[7] 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.[8][9]
