Mickey 17: Warner Bros. Has Released 9 New "Character" Posters

Warner Bros. has released 9 new "character" posters for Mickey 17, which feature some of the previous Mickey prints and how they died while on the job.

We got the second trailer for Mickey 17 the other day, and the movie continues to look fantastic. We also know that the press tour is starting, and it already looks like the best kind of chaos; we love to see it. We complimented Warner Bros. on the posters for this movie so far and how they were pretty sweet looking, and now they've put out character posters…sort of, not really. By "characters," we mean some of the previous Mickey prints, how they have died, and how much their job sucks. You're making some smart decisions with Mickey 17, Warner Bros., so let's keep that energy going for the next month and a half or so.

The studio ended the back half of 2024 on a pretty rough foot. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice connected in a big way, but it was months after the release of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which was released in March and the last time a Warner Bros. film did well at the box office. Over the summer, the studio had some pretty big bombs like Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Watchers, and Trap. Two of those were bombed because they were bad, and the other was bombed because people had no taste. They finally got people back into theaters with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, they ended the year with Joker: Folie à Deux being an all-around disaster, getting rightfully racked across the coals for the handling of Juror #2, and closing out the year on a whimper with The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim. That's some serious inconsistency, and the studio could really use a win (commercially and critically) with Mickey 17 early in the year.
