Naomi Ackie teases Parasite director Bong Joon-ho's new sci-fi movie Mickey17, which also stars Robert Pattinson: 'The story is heartwarming and wild and funny.'
Naomi Ackie opens up about working with director Bong Joon-ho on Mickey 17. The English actress first gained recognition for her television roles in Doctor Who and The End of the F***ing World, though she is best known for her role as Jannah in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY During a recent interview with Total Film , Ackie opens up for the first time about working with Bong on his upcoming sci-fi film. The Rise of Skywalker star shares a few hints about the mysterious movie, Mickey 17, calling it "heartwarming, wild, and funny," while also gushing with praise about working with the Parasite director. Read what Ackie shares below:
I’m terrified to speak on it. The cast on it are incredible, director Bong is one of the most genius and kind men I've ever had the privilege to work with. The story is heartwarming and wild and funny. We had a lot of fun, there was a lot of laughter on that set. I think what I really loved about the making of that film was how intricate it was, how detailed it was. The story is amazing, but how he chooses to tell it is very decisive, he's a very decisive director.
The Batman's Robert Pattinson leads the cast as the titular Mickey Barnes. Other than Ackie as Nasha, Mickey 17's supporting cast includes Nope's Steven Yeun as Berto, Knives Out's Toni Collette as Gwen, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Mark Ruffalo as Hieronymous Marshall. Mickey 17 began production in August 2022 and concluded the following December.
The Mickey 17 teaser succeeded in drumming up excitement for Bong and Pattinson's collaboration, and now, Ackie's glowing comments about the director and cast should continue doing so. Warner Bros. has started the promotional campaign for Mickey 17 incredibly early, considering there is still well over a year to go until its scheduled theatrical release on March 29, 2024. In the meantime, audiences can look forward to plenty more intriguing Mickey 17 news.
