'Mickey 17' Release Rescheduled to April Amid Biopic Shuffle

Warner Bros. has rescheduled the release of Bong Joon Ho's sci-fi film "Mickey 17," starring Robert Pattinson, to April 18, 2025, from its previous date of January 31, 2025. This change follows the shift of the Michael Jackson biopic "Michael" to October, freeing up the IMAX slot for "Mickey 17." The film, based on Edward Ashton's novel "Mickey7," features Pattinson as an expendable employee on a colonization mission. The move is seen as a vote of confidence in the film after positive trailer feedback.
