The stars of Bong Joon-ho's new film 'Mickey 17', Steven Yeun, Mark Ruffalo, and Naomi Ackie, will be visiting Korea.
On the 10th, Warner Bros. Korea announced that Steven Yeun, Mark Ruffalo, and Naomi Ackie will be coming to Korea. This marks the second visit of the 'Mickey 17' cast, following Robert Pattinson's visit on January 19.
'Mickey 17' tells the unpredictable story of 'Mickey', a disposable worker (expendable) who is sent on dangerous missions. As he faces his 17th death, a new 'Mickey 18' is printed, believing that the original Mickey has died. The film is based on the novel 'Mickey 7' by American author Edward Ashton.
Steven Yeun plays Mickey's friend Timo, Ackie portrays Mickey's love interest Nasha, and Ruffalo takes on the role of the dictator Marshall. Yeun previously collaborated with director Bong Joon-ho on the film 'Okja' (2017), while Ackie and Ruffalo are working with him for the first time.
The three stars will attend a press conference with director Bong Joon-ho on February 20 at the Megabox COEX in Seoul. This event will be the first opportunity for in-depth discussions about the film following the media screening on February 17.
'Mickey 17' is set to be released in Korea on February 28, followed by its North American release on March 7.
