Robert Pattinson (The Batman) stars as an “expendable,” a worked paid to die over and over and over again in Mickey 17. The official trailer reveals that each time he passes away, a clone (“multiple”) is created to carry on with his mission.
The cast of the sci-fi drama includes Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice), Steven Yeun (Beef), Academy Award nominee Toni Collette (Hereditary), and Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things). Three-time Oscar winner Bong Joon Ho (Parasite) wrote the screenplay, based on the novel Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton, and directs.
“The unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living,” reads Warner Bros Pictures’ synopsis.
Bong Joon Ho’s behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography Darius Khondji, production designer Fiona Crombie, editor Yang Jinmo, visual effects supervisor Dan Glass, and costume designer Catherine George. Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Bong Joon Ho, and Dooho Choi serve as producers. Brad Pitt, Jesse Ehrman, Peter Dodd, and Marianne Jenkins executive produce.
Mickey 17 was originally set for a March 2024 release before landing on a January 31, 2025 theatrical premiere.
