Director Bong JoonHo’s new work ‘Mickey 17’ (English title MICKEY 17) has finally confirmed its North American release date. The film is set to reach North American audiences on April 18, 2025, timed perfectly with the peak season of the Easter holiday.
‘Mickey 17’ tells an unpredictable story where the expendable character ‘Mickey’, who is sent on a dangerous mission, faces his 17th death. The plot unfolds as a new ‘Mickey 18’ is printed, mistakenly believing the original to be dead. Warner Bros has shifted the film’s North American release date to the Easter weekend and plans to screen it globally in IMAX special theaters, raising expectations among movie fans.
The Easter holiday and April market are golden periods for the North American box office, with Warner Bros showing strong confidence in this timing through several hits like ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’, ‘Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire’, and ‘Ready Player One’. ‘Mickey 17’ is also expected to continue this success.
Moreover, Warner Bros is expected to adhere to the principle of world premiere releases in Korea, officially announcing the Korean release date ahead of the North American one. ‘Mickey 17’ is preparing to exceed audience expectations with Bong JoonHo’s unique blend of genres and themes. Korean audiences will be the first to experience this film in April 2025.
Anticipation and curiosity continue to grow about what new stories Director Bong JoonHo’s ‘Mickey 17’ will captivate audiences with.
