Mickey 17 Official Poster by Jisu Choi

Bong Joon-ho's 2025 film Mickey 17 marks his return to cinema after the Oscar-winning Parasite.

Adapted from Edward Ashton's novel Mickey7, this sci-fi black comedy stars Robert Pattinson as Mickey Barnes, an "Expendable" who undergoes repeated deaths and regenerations during a colonization mission to the icy planet Niflheim.

The narrative delves into themes of identity, capitalism, and survival, with Mickey confronting the implications of his expendability.​

The film's promotional posters vividly encapsulate its themes. Jisu’s poster features a series of identical Mickeys, emphasizing the concept of cloning and loss of individuality, symbolizing the chaos and existential crises he faces.​

Mickey 17 has garnered critical acclaim for its unique blend of humor and science fiction. Robert Pattinson's performance has been particularly praised, earning him a nomination at the 23rd Director's Cut Awards. T

he film premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival and was released in theaters on March 7, 2025.​
