The release date for director Bong JoonHo’s new film ‘Mickey17’ has been postponed once again. According to the American entertainment media Variety on the 6th (local time), Warner Bros has changed the release date of ‘Mickey17’ from January 31, 2025, to April 18. Consequently, ‘Mickey17’ is set to premiere in IMAX during the Easter holiday period.
This is not the first time the release date has been altered. ‘Mickey17′, which began production in the summer of 2022, was initially set to be released on March 29 of this year. However, due to delays in post-production caused by the Hollywood actors’ strike, the schedule has been continuously adjusted. Warner Bros had previously moved up the release of ‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ and altered ‘Mickey17’s Korean release date to January 28, 2025, and its global release to January 31.
Warner Bros Korea stated, “The shift to an Easter release is an expression of confidence in ‘Mickey17’,” and added, “We plan to provide updates on the Korean release date in the future.”
‘Mickey17’ is Bong JoonHo’s first project since winning four Oscars with ‘Parasite’. It is a science fiction film based on Edward Ashton’s novel ‘Mickey7’, exploring themes of identity and class contradictions through the story of Mickey, a man living a repeatedly cloned life. The film stars Robert Pattinson, with Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo also featuring.
As anticipation builds for what message and impact Bong JoonHo’s new film will deliver, interest in the future release schedule is growing. The excitement for what new experience ‘Mickey17’ will offer audiences continues to increase.
