Warner Bros. unveiled Monday the first look and release date for Oscar-winning director Bong Joon Ho’s next movie “Mickey 17,” starring Robert Pattinson.

The sci-fi movie is currently in production and will debut on the big screen on March 29, 2024.

It is adapted from Edward Ashton’s novel and follows Mickey7, an "expendable," who refuses to let his replacement clone Mickey8 take his place.

The cast also includes Mark Ruffalo, Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, and others.

Bong will also produce the upcoming movie via his company Offscreen. 

Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner of Plan B and Dooho Choi of Kate Street Pictures will also produce the upcoming movie. Peter Dodd will oversee on behalf of Warner Bros.

“Mickey 7” is Bong’s first movie since “Parasite”, which became the highest-grossing South Korean film in history, as well as the first non-English language movie to win the best picture at the Oscars.

Out of its six Academy Award nominations, the movie took home prizes for original screenplay, director, and international feature.

Bong is also known for acclaimed movies “Snowpiercer”, “The Host”, “Okja”, and “Barking Dogs Never Bite”.

Warner Bros. has several high-profile releases on the schedule for 2024, including “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” (April 12), the “Mad Max” spinoff “Furiosa” with Anya Taylor-Joy (May 24), and “Joker: Folie à Deux” (Oct. 4).
