The acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho returns with a new cinematic venture, "Mickey 17," featuring Robert Pattinson, known for his roles in "Twilight" and "The Batman." In this film, Pattinson plays an "expendable," a character who is repeatedly sent into dangerous situations, dies, and is then revived as a clone to face death again. This role echoes Pattinson's previous character, Cedric Diggory, whom he humorously mentioned he'd like to give a "second chance at life."
In his review for IGN, critic Siddhant Adlakha delves into the philosophical aspects of "Mickey 17," describing it as a sci-fi comedy that, despite its depressing tone, confronts viewers with its pessimism. Adlakha notes that the film transforms Edward Ashton's novel into a reflection of contemporary political realities, holding everyone accountable for their actions within these larger forces.

Mickey 17 Streaming Release Date
"Mickey 17" will be available for streaming on Max, as it is distributed by Warner Bros., which owns the Max service. Recent Warner Bros. releases like "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" and "Joker: Folie a Deux" have followed a pattern of streaming availability. "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" was available on Max three months after its theatrical debut, while "Joker: Folie a Deux" hit digital platforms within a month due to its underwhelming box office performance. It's unlikely "Mickey 17" will follow the latter's path, and it is expected to be available on Max by late July.
