Mickey 17 – Everything You Need to Know

Heard the buzz about Mickey 17? It’s the new sci‑fi adventure from director Bong Joon Ho, starring Robert Pattinson. If you love mind‑bending stories and wild visuals, this one’s worth a look. Here’s a quick rundown that gives you the key details without the fluff.

What is Mickey 17 about?

The film follows an “expendable” named Mickey – a guy who can be cloned every time a mission kills him. Think of it as a futuristic take on the classic “die‑and‑reboot” idea. Each new copy retains memories, so the story plays with identity, sacrifice, and what it means to be human.

Who’s in the cast?

Robert Pattinson leads as Mickey, showing off his range from action chops to quirky humor. He’s joined by a solid crew: Nick Offerman brings dry wit, Toni Collette adds emotional depth, and Steven Yeun adds a fresh energy. Bong Joon Ho’s reputation for mixing genre and heart raises expectations even higher.

Fans of Bong’s earlier work, like Parasite and Snowpiercer, will notice his trademark visual flair here. The movie blends gritty practical effects with slick CGI, creating a world that feels both familiar and wildly original.

Release date and where to watch

Mickey 17 is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on March 29, 2025. Major cinemas in the US, UK and South Africa will carry it, and the film is expected to roll out on streaming platforms a few months later. Keep an eye on local listings for exact dates.
