“Are you afraid to die?” “This time I wasn’t scared.” Warner Bros has unveiled a second official trailer for sci-fi movie Mickey 17, the next new Bong Joon-ho movie following the Oscar-winning Parasite in 2019. It just had its world premiere in Seoul, South Korea a few days ago, and it’s also screening at the 2025 Berlin Film Festival in February before it opens in theaters this March. Robert Pattinson stars as Mickey Barnes, an “Expendable”: a disposable employee on a human expedition sent out to colonize the ice world Niflheim. There can’t be more than two of them at the same time, but after he goes missing he comes back to discover another. Based on the sci-fi novel written by Edward Ashton. The cast also features Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, Steve Park, Patsy Ferran, and Angus Imrie. This seems like an amusing revolutionary sci-fi adventure. It still looks entirely amazing – I cannot wait to watch it. His funky voice doesn’t bother me, especially because I always trust Bong Joon-ho and trust his vision for this movie.
Here’s the second official trailer for Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi movie Mickey 17, direct from WB’s YouTube:

Feature adaptation of the science fiction novel by Edward Ashton follows the story of Mickey 17, an “expendable,” who is a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact. Mickey 17 is directed by beloved Oscar-winning Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, director of the films Barking Dogs Never Bite, Memories of Murder, The Host, Mother, Snowpiercer, Okja, and Parasite previously. The screenplay is also written by Bong Joon-ho, adapted from the novel “Mickey7” written by Edward Ashton, published a few years ago. It’s produced by Dooho Choi, Dede Gardner, Bong Joon Ho, and Jeremy Kleiner. This was originally set for release in early 2024 but was delayed a year. Warner Bros will now debut Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17 movie in theaters worldwide starting on March 7th, 2025 in a few months. How does this look?
