The video features Pattinson playing two different clones, with the first one expressing his hatred towards the other by trying to kill him. This also teases the strange dynamic between the two versions of Mickey Barnes. The cast includes Robert Pattinson (The Batman), Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice), Steven Yeun (Beef, Minari), Toni Collette (Hereditary), Mark Ruffalo (Avengers: Endgame, Poor Things), Holliday Grainger (The Capture), Anamaria Vartolomei (Happening), Thomas Turgoose (This Is England), and more.
Mickey 17 is directed by Bong Joon Ho (Parasite, Memories of Murder) from a screenplay written by Bong and Edward Ashton, based on the 2022 novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton. This marks Bong’s latest English-language feature after over a decade since directing the Snowpiercer starring Chris Evans. It has been given an R-rating by the MPA for “violent content, language throughout, sexual content, and drug material.” It is produced by Bong, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Dooho Choi, with Brad Pitt, Jesse Ehrman, Peter Dodd, and Marianne Jenkins serving as executive producers.
