The acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho returns with his latest 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 bleak tone, confronts the audience 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., who owns the Max service. Recent Warner Bros. releases like "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" and "Joker: Folie a Deux" have followed a similar pattern, with "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" arriving on Max three months after its theatrical debut, and "Joker: Folie a Deux" becoming available digitally 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.
