WB releases teaser clip of Mickey 17

Warner Bros. Pictures continues to tease the fans who are eagerly waiting to watch Bong Joon-ho's upcoming film Mickey 17. To expand the anticipation, they have dropped a 48-second-long clip from the film as a teaser.

Titled 'Feeling a little dizzy,' the video begins with Mickey Barnes in a spacesuit being asked about how he is feeling. In response, the character says that he is feeling a little dizzy. The voice then explains to him that the symptoms might get worse for him.

It further says that later on, his skin might start to burn and he might die as well. The video then showcases a view of a large spaceship, and it ends abruptly with a hand getting cut off, which is seemingly Mickey's.

It's important to note that this bit was already shown in an extended trailer that the makers had released on Instagram back in November 2024.

South Korean director Bong Joon-ho has donned the director's hat again after his Oscar-winning film Parasite. Mickey 17 was written by him, and it was adapted from Mickey 7, which is a novel that came out in 2022.

It will be first released in South Korea on February 28, 2025, by Warner Bros. Pictures. Subsequently, it will come out in the US on March 7, 2025. Robert Pattinson is playing Mickey Barnes, who is suffering from financial troubles. He agrees to be an expendable for the human colony called Niflheim.

Speaking to Korean Times, Bong Joon-ho revealed his thoughts behind the film. He said,

"Mickey faces harsh conditions and contempt, but at the end of the film, he remains unbroken. That's the message I wanted to convey. I hope it offers a small consolation to those who watch the film."
