Acclaimed director Bong Joon-ho teams up with Robert Pattinson (Twilight, The Batman) in the 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 death results in a new clone taking his place. Interestingly, Pattinson has stated that Cedric Diggory (from the Harry Potter series) is the character he'd most like to give a second chance to, a sentiment that resonates with the film's central theme of expendability and rebirth.

IGN critic Siddhant Adlakha describes Mickey 17 as a "depressing" yet philosophically rich sci-fi comedy. He notes its confrontational pessimism, transforming the source material into a commentary on the current political climate, holding individuals accountable for their actions within a larger system.

Mickey 17 Streaming Release Date

Mickey 17 will stream on Max, not Netflix or Hulu, as Warner Bros. (the distributor) owns the Max streaming service. Considering Warner Bros.' past releases—Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (released on Max three months after its theatrical run) and Joker: Folie à Deux (released digitally within a month due to a weak box office opening)—Mickey 17 is likely to arrive on Max by late July. However, a quicker release is not entirely out of the question.
