Mickey 17 Has Been Delayed From January To April

Warner Bros. has reportedly decided to shift the release date of Bong Joon Ho's Mickey 17 from January 2025 to April 2025.

Apparently, we have to wait another couple of months before we get to see another Bong Joon Ho movie, which might be criminal. Mickey 17 has looked fantastic from the second we got to see footage back in April during the CinemaCon presentation, and we've only grown to love it more as time has passed and we've learned more about the film. So after the Michael Jackson biopic changed its release date, Warner Bros. has reportedly decided to shift this one too. According to Variety, Mickey 17 has moved from January 31, 2025, to April 18, 2025. This will also give the film a chance to run in IMAX, which is where it looks like it should be screened.

"When the April 18 date became available, we quickly moved to secure it for 'Mickey 17,'" A Warner Bros. spokesperson said in a statement. "We're thrilled with the new date, and very happy the film will be available to audiences in IMAX."
