The highly anticipated “Mickey 17,” starring Robert Pattinson and directed by Bong Joon-ho, has been delayed indefinitely, Variety reports. The film was slated to be released on March 29. Now, Warner Bros. has moved the release of “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” for that date.



According to the outlet, sources say that the decision to delay the film was made to “allow more time to finish the project, which had been affected due to last year’s strikes and other various production shifts.” There’s no new date for the release.



This is the first project for the director since “Parasite” (2019), which became the highest-grossing Korean film in history. It was also the first non-English language movie to win best picture at the Oscars. 



<h2>What is ‘Mickey17’ about?</h2>



The sci-fi thriller is an adaptation of Edward Ashton’s novel “Mickey7.” The film follows Pattinson’s as an “expendable,” which is a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize a world made of ice called Niflheim. However, he refuses to let his replacement clone take his place.



Fans got the first glimpse of the movie in Dec. 2022, when Warner Bros. debuted a cryptic teaser featuring Pattinson waking up in a chamber. Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, Naomi Ackie, and Steven Yeun complete the cast. Bong Joon-ho not only directs, as he also wrote the script and produces.

On the other hand, this isn’t the only project with Pattinson that has been halted. The actor was supposed to star in Adam Mckay’s Average Height, Average Build, alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Amy Adams, but the director left the project and Netflix, which was producing, no longer moved forward.



<h2>Robert Pattinson will star in The Batman sequel</h2>



Thankfully for the actor’s fans, Pattinson is still set to reprise his role as Bruce Wayne in The Batman sequel, directed by Matt Reeves. The film is set to hit theaters on October 3, 2025, in the United States.



While filming was scheduled to start back in November, again, the strikes made it impossible to follow that plan. However, it’s now set to start filming in March. Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Colin Farrell as The Penguin, and Jeffrey Wright as Gordon are all expected to reprise their roles.

“The Batman,” starring Robert Pattinson, was one of the most successful films of 2022, and fans of the hero eagerly await the sequel, which is set to come out in 2025. While details of the production are scarce, an industry insider has revealed the potential villains that will be featured in the film… And none of them are Joker.



The movie also stars Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Colin Farrell as The Penguin, Jeffrey Wright as Captain Gordon and Paul Dano as The Penguin. While the final scene teased an upcoming appearance of Joker, portrayed by Barry Keoghan, it seems like the story will take a different direction. At least, according to industry insider Daniel Ritchman, per Screen Time.



The film would feature several villains from the rogues gallery, including: Scarecrow, Professor Pyg, Clayface and Hush. Back in 2022, after the release of the first movie, Reeves said that Hush was a “really interesting” villain, but that “doesn’t mean that the next [movie villain] will be Hush. I just want to say, there are so many.”



<h2>Will Robin also appear in The Batman – Part II?</h2>



Another beloved character that could make an appearance in “The Batman” sequel is Dick Grayson, a.k.a. Robin, according to Ritchman and Twitter user @MyTimeToShineHello, who is also another industry insider.



Matt Reeves will also penned the second installment with Mattson Tomlin, after they wrote the first film with Peter Craig (although Tomlin wasn’t credited). According to ScreenRant, the writing was delayed due to the WGA strike, which lasted 148 days. However, writing resumed back in September.



Meanwhile, filming is scheduled to start in March 2024, as revealed by Midgard Times. The film is set to be released on October 3, 2025. In the meantime, fans are also waiting for the release of the spin-off series, “The Penguin,” which stars Farrell as the iconic villain and follows his rise in Gotham a week after the events of the first film.



<h2>Pattinson was interested in a Court of Owls sequel</h2>



During the promotion of The Batman, Robert Pattinson teased that he would love to do a Court of Owl story. Talking about how fan theories helped his preparation for the character in a video of Vanity Fair, Pattinson said that they were “extremely” helpful.



Responding to a fan theory about the possibility of Bruce’s parents being leaders of the ‘Court of Owls,’ Pattinson said that he “liked” it and he “definitely” thinks that Court of Owl is going to be in the sequels.



The Court of Owls debuted in 2011, as part of The New 52, and they are a secret society that consists of Gotham’s elite, which operates part of the city’s corruption from the shadows. While right now, it doesn’t seem like it’s happening, The Batman is set to be a trilogy… So, there’s still a chance.
