Talking about his character, Pattinson revealed, “I've been the biggest fan of Bong for many, many years. He's my hero,” at a surprise April 2024 appearance at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, as reported by Entertainment Weekly. He continued, “I got sent the script; I was told, 'You're gonna love the script, but the part is impossible.' That was very, very exciting to me. I thought it was the most unusual, bizarre, funny script.”
The Twilight alum also described his character as “someone who has the lowest expectations of his life, and yet the world keeps pushing those expectations, to the point where he has a job that tortures him every day.” He also welcomed a daughter with his fiance Waterhouse in March 2024. Mickey 17 will be out in theatres on March 7 and also stars Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette and Mark Ruffalo.
