Award-winning director Bong Joon Ho is back with a new film, and this time he's teamed up with Robert Pattinson, known for his roles in Twilight and The Batman. In Mickey 17, Pattinson takes on the role of an "expendable," a person repeatedly sent into dangerous situations, dying each time only to be brought back as a clone. This concept echoes Pattinson's desire to give his Harry Potter character, Cedric Diggory, another shot at life.
IGN critic Siddhant Adlakha, in his Mickey 17 review, delves into the film's philosophical depths. He describes it as a "depressing" sci-fi comedy that confronts viewers with its pessimism, transforming Edward Ashton's novel into a sharp commentary on current political climates. It holds everyone accountable, especially those affected by larger systemic forces.

Mickey 17 Streaming Release Date
Mickey 17 is set to stream on Max, owned by Warner Bros., rather than on Netflix or Hulu. Previous Warner Bros. releases like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Joker: Folie a Deux followed a similar pattern, with the former appearing on Max three months post-theatrical release and the latter on digital platforms within a month due to a less-than-stellar opening. Given this trend, Mickey 17 is expected to be available on Max by late July.
