it feels like the mickey delay was inevitable. less than 2 months away and all we have is a promo still thats like 2 years old? yeah that wasnt happening.

I do like a good monster movie so I'll watch Godzilla + Kong, Godzilla x Kong, (Godzilla-1)*x(Kong+4)=137, I don't care I'll watch them.

i figured mickey 17 wasn't finished yet when the news came out that steven yeun was joining the cast

Mickey 17 is finished, it isn't being delayed because it's not done. They had a test screening months ago and it tested well. The thinking is they're either holding it for Cannes at the end of May, or moving it closer to Awards season.

Sources tell Variety that the decision to move the highly
anticipated sci-fi movie from the Korean filmmaker was made to allow
more time to finish the project, which had been affected due to last
year’s strikes and other various production shifts.

I'm sure Variety would love to correct this mistake, seeing as you have more information;

I know what it says and I also know someone who was at the test screening so I know it's done. Do you expect WB to say they fucked up when they moved Dune2 to March and now they're scrambling to fix their mistake? There are a lot of factors they don't want to air in public but that will become clear once all the films involved are released.
