Stars including Robert Pattison, Mark Ruffalo and Naomi Ackie have hit the red carpet tonight for the premiere of the new sci-fi comedy Mickey 17. Mickey 17 is an upcoming Sci-Fi-comedy film by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Bong Joon-Ho, and is based on the 2022 novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton. Dressed in a deep navy blue suit with a modern, slightly oversized silhouette, the film’s lead, Robert Pattison, looked effortlessly stylish and sophisticated as he posed for photographs on the red carpet outside Leicester Square’s Cineworld.
He was joined by The Avengers actor Mark Ruffalo, who plays antagonist Kenneth Marshall in the film and wore a classic black blazer over a crisp white button-up shirt. Naomi Ackie, who plays the role of Nasha Adjaya, wore a striking black asymmetrical top with sculptural detailing at the premiere, paired with black high-waisted trousers and a slicked-back up-do. Mickey 17 is scheduled for release on March 7, 2025.
The movie follows the story of Mickey (Robert Pattinson), a human who is sent on a mission to colonize a distant planet. However, after dying during an exploration mission, he is brought back to life as a clone. Despite being “reborn,” Mickey retains memories of his past life, leading him to question his existence and the true nature of his mission. With a mix of dark humour, psychological intrigue, and science fiction, the film explores themes of identity, mortality, and humanity's future in space.
Bong Joon-Ho is a South Korean filmmaker gained international fame with his 2019 film Parasite, which won Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. Pattinson, known for a range of roles across independent films and blockbuster franchise, rose to fame with his portrayal of Edward Cullen in the Twilight series. He has also taken on the iconic role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in The Batman (2022), starring alongside Zoë Kravitz.
