What else to know about Mickey 17
Mickey 17 is the first movie from Bong Joon Ho since his acclaimed, Best Picture-winning smash Parasite (which is now streaming on Netflix if you’re curious). Six years is a long time to wait for the follow-up, but Mickey 17 hit a few snags along the way. Production was completed in early 2023 with an eye toward a 2024 release date, but the 2023 Hollywood strikes and some shuffling at the studio ultimately saw it being pushed to its 2025 release.
The response from critics signals that the delays shouldn’t be a warning sign for fans, as the movie is officially “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes; get our thoughts with the official WTW Mickey 17 review.

Expanding on that, each time Mickey dies, a new version of him is produced to continue the assignment or take on a new dangerous task. However, things get complicated when Mickey doesn’t actually die during one assignment, but a new copy ends up being produced anyway.
In addition to Pattinson, the Mickey 17 cast features Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice), Steven Yeun (Minari), Toni Collette (Hereditary) and Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things).
