After Parasite took home awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards, Bong Joon-ho is ready to unleash his follow-up to the acclaimed movie. Warner Bros. Pictures announced the release date for Mickey 17, a sci-fi movie starring Robert Pattinson (The Batman) based on the novel Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton.
Mickey 17 is currently in production and will be released worldwide in theaters on March 29, 2024. That’s a bit of a wait, but the release of the next Bong Joon-ho movie will undoubtably be worth it. A short teaser was also released, showing Robert Pattinson in some type of sci-fi apperatus.
In addition to Robert Pattinson, Mickey 17 also stars Steven Yeun (Minari), Naomi Ackie (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker), Toni Collette (Hereditary), and Mark Ruffalo (Avengers: Endgame). The movie is being directed, written, and produced by Bong Joon-ho. Pattinson recently starred in Matt Reeves’ The Batman and is expected to reprise the role for the upcoming sequel. The Batman 2 is still in the early stages, but with James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over the DC Universe and mapping out a multi-year plan, it’s not clear if anything will change regarding the sequel.
