The trailer for Mickey 17 has crash-landed into our lives, and it’s about to get wild!
That’s right, Robert “Brooding Heartthrob” Pattinson is back, and this time he’s not just moping around as a vampire or billionaire bat enthusiast. No, no. He’s starring in Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17, the director’s highly anticipated return to filmmaking since winning an armload of Oscars for Parasite in 2019. (Yes, it’s been that long—he probably had to take a break just to count all the awards.)
Now, let’s talk about Mickey Barnes (Pattinson). This guy has landed the ultimate gig—one that makes your 9-to-5 look like a nap in a hammock. What’s the job, you ask? Oh, just dying… over and over again. Yep, Mickey’s employer doesn’t mess around with performance reviews. You either die for the job or, well… you die for the job. Talk about work-life balance!
And the kicker? Robert’s not just playing one Mickey—he’s playing multiple versions of himself! Imagine trying to keep track of all your passwords, but instead, it’s different versions of you. Good luck, Mickey.
But wait, there’s more! The star-studded cast includes Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun (yes, the guy who made you cry in Minari), Toni Collette (who could probably win an Oscar for just sneezing), and Mark Ruffalo, who we assume might turn green at some point… because why not?
Mark your calendars, grab your popcorn, and mentally prepare for all the Pattinsons. Mickey 17 hits theaters on January 31, 2025.
