"Mickey 17: Viewing Options and Streaming Availability"

The Oscar-winning visionary Bong Joon Ho returns with *Mickey 17*, a bold sci-fi dark comedy featuring Robert Pattinson in the lead role. Known for his roles in *Twilight* and *The Batman*, Pattinson plays Mickey Barnes, also known as Mickey 17—a so-called “expendable” sent into deadly environments, only to be cloned and sent back again and again. Some fans have even drawn comparisons to Cedric Diggory, another character tragically sacrificed, whom Pattinson once mentioned he'd most like to "give a second chance at life."

In IGN’s *Mickey 17* review, critic Siddhant Adlakha dives into the deeper themes of the film, describing it as “confrontational by virtue of its pessimism.” He adds that the movie transforms Edward Ashton’s original novel into a stark commentary on modern socio-political dynamics—without letting anyone off the hook, especially those caught in the system.
