Steven Yeun Joins Robert Pattinson in Bong Joon Ho’s Next Movie

Steven Yeun is reuniting with Bong Joon Ho on the director’s next movie at Warner Bros.

The untitled movie is based on the novel "Mickey7" by Edward Ashton.

Bong will write, direct and produce for his production company "Offscreen" along with Kate Street Picture Company’s Dooho Choi and Plan B’s Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner as part of the latter’s overall deal with Warner Bros.

The movie also stars Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Mark Ruffalo, and Toni Collette.

It marks the second collaboration between Yeun and Bong following their successful collaboration on "Okja" in 2017.

The movie is Bong’s first since his 2019 South Korean masterpiece "Parasite" swept the world to become a global cultural touchpoint and shattered box office records.

"Mickey7" was published in February by St. Martin, a Macmillan imprint. It follows Mickey7, who is an Expendable: a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim.

Whenever there’s a mission that’s too dangerous—even suicidal—the crew turns to Mickey.  After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact. After six deaths, Mickey7 understands the terms of his deal and why it was the only colonial position unfilled when he took it.
