The first trailer for Mickey 17 directed by Bong Joon-ho starring Robert Pattinson was released online earlier today. The film will follow Mickey, who wants to escape Earth, and he signs up to be a disposable employee who keeps being sent on expeditions. However, whenever he dies on any expedition, his body is replaced with an exact copy of himself which has all his memories intact.

Throughout his career now Robert Pattinson has developed a reputation for putting on a certain voice for his films and Mickey 17 seems to be another example of this. Putting on a voice that does come across as a bit silly but works perfectly for the character, it looks like it will be another interesting role from Pattinson.

With Pattinson having done so many distinct voices for his roles, let's take a look back at his career and explore his best five movie voices amidst the release of the Mickey 17 trailer.


From The Batman to The Lighthouse, 5 best voices done by Robert Pattinson in films explored


5) Batman / Bruce Wayne in The Batman

Batman is a character who has had many iconic actors put on a certain voice for the character. From Michael Keaton's broody pitch to Christian Bale's intense, and sometimes raspy take, the character has certainly had his fair share of iconic voices. However, Robert Pattinson's Batman voice in The Batman easily fits into that iconography.

A lower-pitched voice that almost feels like a whisper at times, it perfectly fits this younger Bruce Wayne that Pattinson is portraying. It feels unlike anything we have ever gotten before, but at the same time, it distinctly feels like Batman.


4) Ephraim Winslow in The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse is an enigmatic horror film that looks at two lighthouse keepers slowly lose their sanity as they spend time with each other on a marooned lighthouse. Starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson, the film packs in some powerful performances, but when it comes to Pattinson - he puts on another great voice here.

With the film being set in the 19th century, Pattinson presents a great voice to this character. As he slowly loses his sanity, you can sense his voice getting more and more intense which also fits the 19th century setting of the film. Alongside that, it just helps elevate an already great performance.


3) Preston Teagardin in The Devil All the Time

Antonio Campos' The Devil All the Time took us to Southern Ohio and West Virginia and told stories focusing on many characters in the film. One happened to be Robert Pattinson's Reverend Preston Teagardin, a corrupt preacher with many questionable morals, and it's a dark role that sees the actor play the worst kind of human.

However, what makes this performance stand out is the thick Southern accent that Pattinson puts on. While past roles still have seen him maintain shades of his normal voice, he completely lets go of that over here and presents a very distinct pitch that lets him blend into the role.


2) Constantine "Connie" Nikas in Good Time

Safdie Brothers' Good Time is a thrilling time where everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. Focusing on two brothers evading cops, the film is a roller coaster ride that features one of Pattinson's best performances. However, the accent he puts on is the real star of the show here.

Putting on a thick Queens accent, it immediately saw Pattinson lose himself in the role of this despicable human being who will go to any lengths just to not be captured.


1) The Gray Heron in The Boy and the Heron

Hayao Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron was easily one of the best-animated films of 2023. Focusing on a boy who enters a magical world with a talking heron after his mother's death, the film is an emotional roller coaster with an amazing Japanese voice cast. However, while the American voice cast is great too, its Pattinson here that steals the show.

Showcasing his skills as a voice actor, Robert Pattinson knocks it out of the park playing the Gray Heron in the film. It's so unlike him that you wouldn't even know it's Pattinson if you hadn't checked the credits beforehand or after the film. Just top-notch voice work from the actor.


While it didn't make the list, we also have to give a honorable mention to his role as The Dauphin in The King. It's a hilarious French accent that really helps sell the absurdity of the character. You can see Robert Pattinson on the big screen next when Mickey 17 releases in theatres on January 31, 2025.
