Robert Pattinson Pining for a Career in Asia After Mickey 17: ‘Korea Could Become a Second Home’

Robert Pattinson is looking for stardom in Asian film after completing joint Korean-American project, Mickey 17, an insider reveals to Life and Style.

The film, which is based on the hit novel Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton, is a joint American-Korean production, with funding coming from the U.S. and behind-the-screen talent largely sourced from Korea, including Bong Joon-ho, who is writing, directing and coproducing. “Warner Bros. has committed to putting a lot of money and energy behind making Rob into a bona fide star in South Korea and giving him a base there from which he can mount more projects,” the insider says. The Batman star has definitely been busy the new addition to his family, telling a fellow Dior Homme Menswear Spring/Summer 2025 show attendee that he couldn’t stay long in Paris and “had to get back for the baby.” Either he’s going to have to suffer some separation anxiety in order to make it big in Asia or possibly even relocate, the source reveals.
