Coming off of the massive, award-winning success of Parasite, the delay of Bong Joon-ho’s next film Mickey 17 has puzzled fans. It’s a Bong Joon-ho movie, which tend to be a little weird, starring Robert Pattinson, who tends to be a little weird (the trailer for the movie eventually confirmed that Pattinson is making Big Choices). Knowing this, rumors began to circulate that Bong was butting heads with Warner Bros. over his cut of the film. But Bong waves off this speculation in a new Empire Magazine interview. “With Okja and now Mickey 17, I was given the final cut as part of my deal,” he says. “The studio respected my final cut rights.”
