Mickey 17 Trailer Set To Be Released Tomorrow, First Footage Released

The first footage for Mickey 17 has dropped to tease the trailer release tomorrow. The film will be released in theaters on January 31, 2025.

It's only September, but some studios are starting to look ahead to 2025 already. Warner Bros. is hiding what could be an amazing little prize at the end of January of all places with Mickey 17 from director Bong Joon Ho. Bong has won multiple awards, so for his big science fiction adaptation of a bestselling book to get dumped at the end of January when it cannot compete for the awards season is baffling. What's even more baffling is that the footage looks great. We got to see some footage from this movie in April during CinemaCon, and it looks fantastic; Bong even said that he upped the number from 7 to 17 because he wanted to kill Robert Pattinson's Mickey ten more times. Warner Bros. has been mostly focused on marketing the films coming out this year, but today, they dropped some of the first footage from Mickey 17 and revealed that the first trailer will drop tomorrow.

Here is the summary of the book from the publisher's website: "Dying isn't any fun…but at least it's a living.

Mickey7 is an Expendable: a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. Whenever there's a mission that's too dangerous—even suicidal—the crew turns to Mickey. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact.

On a routine scouting mission, Mickey7 goes missing and is presumed dead. By the time he returns to the colony base, his fate has been sealed. There's a new clone, Mickey8, reporting for Expendable duties. The idea of duplicate Expendables is universally loathed, and if caught, they face being recycled into protein to feed a hungry colony. Meanwhile, life on Niflheim is getting worse, and the native species are growing curious about their new neighbors, which has Commander Marshall very afraid. Ultimately, the survival of both lifeforms will come down to Mickey7.

That is, if he can just keep from dying for good."
