Award-winning director Bong Joon Ho returns with a thrilling new project, "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, only to be cloned and sent back again after each death. 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 depths of "Mickey 17," describing it as a sci-fi comedy that, despite its depressing tone, confronts viewers 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.

It's unlikely that "Mickey 17" will follow the latter's path, and it is expected to be available on Max by late July.
