Steven Yeun stars in Bong Joon Ho’s new movie Mickey 17

South Korean-born actor Steven Yeun has made a name for himself, starring in numerous movies where he has shown his impressive acting talent. Fans of The Walking Dead fondly remember Yeun as Glenn Rhee on the series. His death was one of the most brutal at the hands of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). In 2024, Yeun will star in Bong Joon Ho’s latest movie Mickey 17.  

Directed by Joon-Ho, known for The Host, Snowpiercer, and Parasite, the sci-fi movie is based on Edward Ashton’s novel Mickey7. The film will feature an “expendable,” a disposable employee sent on a mission to colonize the ice world known as Niflheim. If the expendable dies, a new body is generated with the memories of the previous intact.

The film stars Yeun as a character named Berto, with Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, and Holliday Grainger also starring.

The film will release in theaters on March 29, 2024.
