The world has become abuzz with excitement as Warner Bros. has just dropped the official trailer for the highly anticipated sci-fi thriller 'Mickey 17.' Led by the ever-versatile Robert Pattinson as Mickey Barnes, the film is directed by none other than Oscar-winner Bong Joon-ho, best known for his game-changing film 'Parasite.' This swirling mix of dark comedy and sci-fi twists invites audiences to explore a bizarre world where the main character is, as the title suggests, expendable.

A narrative that promises mind-bending experiences, much like a roller coaster of both hilarity and horror, 'Mickey 17' highlights Pattinson alongside an ensemble cast featuring renowned actors such as Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, and Steven Yeun. The film is based on the book 'Mickey7' penned by Edward Ashton, offering a fresh take on the sci-fi genre with its unique premise and rich storytelling.

Bong Joon-ho's films have always maintained a level of sharp social commentary while drawing viewers into driven narratives.
