Acclaimed director Bong Joon-ho returns with Mickey 17, starring Robert Pattinson, fresh off his success in Twilight and The Batman. Pattinson portrays an "expendable," a clone repeatedly sent on deadly missions to colonize a hostile ice planet, only to be replaced by a new clone upon death. Pattinson himself has even drawn a parallel to Cedric Diggory, a character he'd like to give a second chance at life, highlighting the film's thematic resonance.
IGN critic Siddhant Adlakha's review describes Mickey 17 as a "depressing" sci-fi comedy with profound philosophical undertones. He notes the film's confrontational pessimism, transforming a seemingly straightforward narrative into a stark reflection of contemporary political realities, holding both individuals and systems accountable.

Mickey 17 Streaming Release Date
Mickey 17 will stream on Max, not Netflix or Hulu, due to Warner Bros.' ownership of the platform. Considering Warner Bros.' past release patterns (Beetlejuice streamed on Max three months post-theatrical release), Mickey 17 is likely to arrive on Max by late July. However, the exceptionally quick digital release of Joker: Folie à Deux, due to a poor box office opening, suggests this is not a guaranteed timeline.
