Bong Joon ho's sci-fi movie “Mickey 17” starring Robert Pattinson will now be released on April 18, 2025, Warner Brothers Discovery announced on Wednesday.

The film was originally slated to be released on Jan. 31, 2025. Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema's “Companion” previously set for Jan. 10, 2025 is now dated for Jan. 31, 2025. Companion will be released in IMAX globally.

The sci-fi film will screen in IMAX over the Easter holiday. Michael Jackson biopic "Michael" from Lionsgate was initally slated to be released on the April 18 slot, but was pushed to Oct. 3, 2025 earlier this week.

Based on the 2022 novel "Mickey7" by Edward Ashton, the sci-fi thriller follows a down-on-his-luck Mickey (Pattinson), who signs up to die without reading the fine print. Mickey has donated his life to science, testing the limits of human nature and capabilities. But when one version of him dies, a clone is created in its place, retaining most of his memories and prepared to take on the next deadly mission. 

The film is the Academy Award-winning "Parasite" writer-director's first feature since the 2019 thriller's critical success. "Parasite" made history as the first foreign language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. 

Mark Ruffalo, Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie and Toni Collette join Pattinson for the Warner Bros. Pictures production. 

Oscar winners for "Moonlight" Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner teamed up with Bong and Dooho Choi to produce the film with An Offscreen Production. Other executive producers on the project include Brad Pitt, Jesse Ehrman, Peter Dodd and Marianne Jenkins.
