Bong Joon-ho’s highly anticipated science fiction thriller,Mickey 17, starring Robert Pattinson has been in the news for quite a time. The Warner Bros. film, originally set to hit theaters on August 06, 2025, was pushed back to a new release date. The film written, directed, and produced by the Oscar-winningParasitedirector was previously delayed indefinitely. It’s now set to hit theaters on June 26, 2025, per reports.
Adapted from author Edward Ashton’s 2022 novelMickey 7, the film was expected to have Joon-ho put his trademark tonal shifts from the source material.
