The instantBong Joon - ho’sParasite pull ahead the Oscar for Best Picture , everyone wonder “ What ’s next ? ” The answer , it turn out , is a sci - fi adaption about clone and deaththat ’s coming out in 2025 . We ’ve realise the first trailer and it ’s dead genial .
The movie is call Mickey 17and it stars the Batman himself , Robert Pattinson . Pattinson plays a human being who realise his job is to die and be reprinted , over and over , until one day a human print becomes ego - mindful . [ So , they ’re not “ clones ” they ’re “ human prints . ” ] It ’s ground on a Holy Scripture call Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton , but Joon - ho decided he wanted to kill the character 10 more times , so that ’s why his version is Mickey 17 . That ’s what the Oscar - make headway manager said at CinemaCon 2024 this week as he revealed , for the first sentence ever , the trailer for his 2025 sci - fi film . And though the house trailer wo n’t be out for a while , io9 was there , and we have to secern you about it . Because it ’s freaking insane .
The whole lagger is set to “ Ai n’t That a bang in the Head ’ by Dean Martin so , go and play that while you read what ’s happening . We start with a starship drift over a planet . A man is in a infinite wooing outside the ship , and someone asks if his giddiness is kicking in . He admits he feels a lilliputian airheaded when something slice off his hand and it float out into space .

This is Mickey , Pattinson ’s eccentric , who has a sort of squeaky , meek voice , almost like a mobster in a Disney movie . He ’s got a new business as an expendable , which imply that they do a full scan on his dead body so that , when he give out , they can just publish a unexampled one . Mickey hold he did n’t read the full program so he was n’t sure what that imply .
So , as an expendable , he ’s got ta do all sort of different missions . We see him working with fire , on an ice planet , and more , and it keeps cutting back to him dying and people shoving a consistency bag into an incinerator . At one point , the people shove the body in there gain the person in the body bag is still alive . “ It ’s fine , ” enjoin Mickey , and they squeeze him down into the flames .
At one compass point we see a interpretation of him fall through the methamphetamine and state wholly out of reach . “ It ’s not looking expert for you , ” someone says , as a monumental puppet streak and drink down another version of him . Meanwhile , a friend asks him “ What does it feel like to die ? ” Mickey tells him even though he ’s used to it after 17 times , he still does n’t wish it . Which is when Mickey goes to his way and lays down next to … another Mickey .
“ Why are n’t you dead ? ” ask the other Mickey , Mickey 18 , who has a much more normal , confident voice . We do n’t do it , but we bump out that when “ multiple ” exist in this existence , they must be exterminated . So we see scenes of other print being dispatch let in a moment where someone suggests they play Rock Paper Scissor to figure out which of the print lives .
A crowd of action scenes take flight by with the two Paddy , until one Mickey says to the other Mickey “ I do n’t care you . ” To which the other answer “ But I ’m you . ” “ I ’m not you ! ” he retorts and they keep to campaign . Then we see the yoke back on the ice planet with a whole field full of those tool from before that smell like zombie buffalo . “ Not this again . ” one say .
So , yeah , Mickey 17 look pretty damned wild . A movie about deal with destruction , but also about enter out how to live . A movie with a heavy , sci - fi premiss , but that also has a circumstances of humor and poignancy to it . And multiple Roberts Pattinson .
Paddy 17 opens in theaters January 31 , 2025 .
