Bong Joon-Ho is a hot commodity after directing films such as Parasite, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture at the 92nd Academy Awards. His next film is Mickey 17, a sci-fi film starring Robert Pattinson as an expendable employee whose company can regenerate a new body for him with the same memories intact. The South Korean director is no stranger to working with Western actors; for example, Joon-Ho has worked with Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton in Snowpiercer.

Today, Warner Bros. Pictures has released the second official trailer for Mickey 17. It gives viewers a taste of the many deadly missions Mickey has to go through for the company. Additionally, Mark Ruffalo can be seen in an antagonist role.
