Bong Joon-ho’s highly anticipated science fiction movie, Mickey 17, has been delayed again, reports suggest. However, there is good news for the ones eagerly waiting for its release.

Per Comicbook.com, the news of its delay was announced this week, with the new date being April 18, 2025. Mickey 17 was previously slated for January 21, 2025. 

Well, the three-month delay might have dried out the enthusiasm, but worry not, as the studio has a big plan surrounding the delay. Per Variety, this shift will allow the movie to be able to release in IMAX theaters while also capturing the Easter holiday crowd. 

The release of Mickey 17 was pushed further from its January slot after Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic Michael had been moved forward from its original release date, which was April 18, 2025. 

The aforementioned movie was aimed at the IMAX screens, along with other premium large-format screens. However, the project has been moved forward to October 3, 2025, by Lionsgate, making the April slot empty.

A Warner Bros. spokesperson’s statement read, “When the April 18 date became available, we quickly moved to secure it for Mickey 17.”

The statement also mentioned that the studio is “thrilled” to have a new release for Mickey 17, as it will now be available in IMAX theaters.

Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on July 16, 2024. Two days later, on July 20, 2024, the couple shared a joint statement with their fans on social media. Richa announced her pregnancy in February, and now, in a recent interview with Vogue India, the couple proudly revealed the name of their newborn daughter – Zuneyra Ida Fazal.

In the same conversation with Vogue, Ali Fazal shared that having a baby has filled a void he didn’t even realize existed, and he finds it amazing.

He admitted that it has become difficult to balance work now, as he experiences anxiety whenever he leaves home, wanting to be with his baby and Richa all the time.

Richa Chadha explained that she deliberately avoided reading too much about parenting to prevent feeling overwhelmed by information, believing that it could interfere with her natural instincts.

The Fukey actress mentioned that while working on instinct involves some trial and error, it eventually leads to figuring things out.

She noted that the nurses taught her the basics, but the natural instinct to care for her baby, Zuni, came naturally. Richa emphasized that she trusts nature’s intelligence and prefers not to interfere, observing what works best for both herself and Zuni, and so far, it has been successful.
