Robert Pattinson’s Hilarious Take on a Hero Who Can’t See Their Own Bravery in Mickey 17!

by

In many stories, every character believes they are the main hero. This phrase is often used by actors, especially those portraying villains, to empathize with their characters better. Interestingly, in Robert Pattinson’s role for director Bong Joon Ho’s movie Mickey 17, he played a unique protagonist: a hero who struggles to grasp the notion of being a hero at all.

In the upcoming home video release of the critically acclaimed 2025 movie, it’s clear that Robert Pattinson relished his role as Mickey, the naive protagonist. He’s the one who, in a moment of desperation, enlists for a perilous space voyage aboard a ship bound for Niflheim, a distant planet. His job demands exposure to hazardous procedures and conditions, and each time he dies, a replica of him is produced.

If this life seems utterly dreadful to you… then you’re spot on, and Robert Pattinson chuckled upon acknowledging this truth from a broader viewpoint.

Mickey is enduring a truly terrible ordeal; his life is incredibly difficult… To really bring out the heroic qualities of his character, it’s important to emphasize just how badly he’s being treated.

Mickey might not be the sharpest tool in the box, yet his actions in signing up for a challenge, even without fully understanding its demands, earn him heroic status. A true hero is someone who puts others’ well-being above their own needs and is willing to make sacrifices, which is exactly what our main character exhibits in “Mickey 17“. Before he even attempts to halt the genocide of an alien race, this selflessness is demonstrated.

If you’re excited about the upcoming movie by the brilliant director Bong Joon Ho (who won an Academy Award for Parasite), you can now pre-order Mickey 17, featuring Robert Pattinson, before it goes live online on April 8. Grab your digital copy here! Deal available.

According to Robert Pattinson, Mickey has such a low self-esteem that not only does he fail to perceive himself as the hero he truly is, but he’s also oblivious to the appalling way he’s being mistreated by other people. This is what the actor expresses in the video clip.

This individual seems to place very little worth on himself, almost to the extent that he doesn’t perceive the pain inflicted upon him as torture. He desires acceptance and purpose within the group so deeply that he fails to recognize his own suffering… It’s quite intriguing to have a character who is blind to the idea of seeing themselves as a hero.

According to Bong Joon Ho in a recent clip, the film Mickey 17 boasts an outstanding performance by Robert Pattinson in a double role, alongside a stellar cast that includes Naomi Ackie, Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette, and Steven Yuen. The movie hit theaters at the beginning of March, but it’s set to be available for digital purchase on April 8 from major online retailers. For those who prefer physical copies, the 4K UHD and Blu-ray versions will be in stores starting May 13.
