Acclaimed director Bong Joon-ho teams up with Robert Pattinson (Twilight, The Batman) in the new sci-fi thriller, Mickey 17. Pattinson plays an "expendable"—a clone repeatedly sent on dangerous missions with the understanding that death is a likely outcome. Each time he dies, a new clone takes his place. Pattinson has even stated that the character he'd most like to resurrect is Cedric Diggory, a testament to the film's exploration of mortality and second chances.
IGN critic Siddhant Adlakha describes Mickey 17 as a "depressing" yet philosophically rich sci-fi comedy. He notes the film's confrontational pessimism, using a seemingly straightforward narrative to reflect on contemporary political realities, holding both systems and individuals accountable for their actions.

Mickey 17 Streaming Release Date
Mickey 17 will stream on Max, not Netflix or Hulu, due to Warner Bros.' ownership of the streaming service. Considering Warner Bros.' past releases (Beetlejuice arrived on Max three months after its theatrical release), a late July release on Max is a reasonable prediction, though the unpredictable nature of streaming releases means this could shift.
