Acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho, known for his groundbreaking work, is back with a new film titled *Mickey 17*, featuring Robert Pattinson, the actor famous for his roles in *Twilight* and *The Batman*. In this sci-fi comedy, Pattinson plays an "expendable" named Mickey, who is repeatedly sent into dangerous situations, only to be cloned and sent back time and again. This concept draws parallels to Pattinson's previous character, Cedric Diggory, whom he humorously mentioned he'd like to give another chance at life.

IGN critic Siddhant Adlakha delves into the film's philosophical depths in his review, describing *Mickey 17* as a "depressing" yet thought-provoking sci-fi comedy. He notes its confrontational nature, stemming from its pessimistic view, which transforms the straightforward novel into a critical reflection of contemporary political dynamics. The film does not shy away from holding individuals accountable amidst larger societal forces.

If you're eager to see *Mickey 17*, it's currently playing in theaters. You can find showtimes at major chains like Fandango, AMC Theaters, Cinemark Theaters, and Regal Theaters. For those planning to watch at home, *Mickey 17* is expected to be available on the Max streaming service, owned by Warner Bros., likely by late July. This timeline follows the pattern of other Warner Bros. releases such as *Beetlejuice Beetlejuice* and *Joker: Folie a Deux*, which became available on Max three months after their theatrical debuts.

Mickey 17 will eventually stream on Max instead of Netflix or Hulu because distributor Warner Bros. owns the Max streaming service. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, a 2024 movie from Warner Bros., arrived on Max exactly three months after its theatrical release. Joker: Folie a Deux was also from Warner Bros., and that one arrived on digital within a month of arriving in theaters, mostly due to a "disastrous" opening weekend.

I sincerely doubt we'll see another Joker 2 scenario, and Mickey 17 will most likely arrive on Max by late July.
