[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Actor Robert Pattinson responded with "I'm looking forward to it" when asked about director Bong Joon-ho's new project.

On the afternoon of the 18th, at the live conference for the movie The Batman held at CGV Yongsan in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, Robert Pattinson said, "Director Bong's new work is truly amazing," adding, "I'm happy to be working together and very much looking forward to it."

Mickey7 tells the story of Mickey, a clone sent to colonize the icy world of Niflheim. Robert Pattinson plays the lead role of Mickey.

Director Bong is directing a sci-fi film adapted from Edward Ashton’s unpublished novel Mickey7. Ashton gifted Bong Joon-ho the manuscript, scheduled for publication in February, last year, and captivated by the novel, Director Bong immediately began adapting it into a film.

The production company Offscreen, producer Choi Doo-ho who worked on Okja (2017), Brad Pitt’s Plan B, and others are participating in the production, with Warner Bros. handling worldwide distribution.

Meanwhile, Robert Pattinson stars as the lead Batman in the movie The Batman, which opens on the 1st of next month.

During a video call with Korean reporters that day, he said, "Everyone wanted to go to Seoul but couldn't, which is unfortunate," and added, "I know the passionate love Korean fans have shown for Batman."
