10 Recent Movie Trailers That LIED
8. Less Mickeys Than You Thought - Mickey 17
For the great many who haven't read Edward Ashton's novel on which Mickey 17 is based, the film's marketing made it seem like Robert Pattinson would be portraying many, many clones of Mickey Barnes throughout the runtime.
One of the trailers straight-up lists Mickey 1, Mickey 11, Mickey 17, and Mickey 18 as prominent characters, and the film's posters also show more than a dozen versions of Mickey at once.
But in the final film, most of the Mickey clones are only glimpsed fleetingly in brief gags leading up to their deaths, with only Mickeys 17 and 18 being major characters in the overall narrative.
To some, the prospect of seeing numerous Robert Pattinsons squabbling and struggling to co-exist seemed like the entire selling point of the movie, and so for the bulk of the story to revolve around just two of them was somewhat disappointing.
We're not saying that's why the film flopped at the box office, but more Mickeys might've helped.
