Acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho, celebrated for his groundbreaking work, teams up with Robert Pattinson, known for his roles in Twilight and The Batman, for their latest venture, Mickey 17. In this film, Pattinson plays an "expendable," a character repeatedly sent into deadly situations, only to be revived as a clone to face death again. This role echoes the sentiment Pattinson expressed about wanting to give his Harry Potter character, Cedric Diggory, a second chance at life.
IGN critic Siddhant Adlakha describes Mickey 17 as a thought-provoking sci-fi comedy that, despite its depressing undertones, delves into deep philosophical questions. Adlakha notes that the film transforms Edward Ashton’s novel into a critical reflection of contemporary political issues, holding everyone accountable for their actions within this system.
For those eager to see Mickey 17, it's currently showing in theaters. You can find showtimes at major theater chains like Fandango, AMC Theaters, Cinemark Theaters, and Regal Theaters. If you prefer to watch it at home, Mickey 17 is expected to stream on Max, owned by distributor Warner Bros., likely by late July. This follows the pattern set by other Warner Bros. releases such as Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Joker: Folie a Deux.
