Acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho returns with an intriguing new project, teaming up with Robert Pattinson, known for his roles in Twilight and The Batman. In Mickey 17, Pattinson takes on the role of an "expendable," a character sent into perilous environments only to be repeatedly cloned and sent back into danger. This concept echoes Pattinson's previous character, Cedric Diggory, whom he wishes to "give a second chance at life."

In his review for IGN, critic Siddhant Adlakha describes Mickey 17 as a sci-fi comedy with a heavy dose of philosophical reflection. He notes the film's "depressing" tone yet praises its ability to confront viewers with its pessimism, turning a straightforward novel into a critique of contemporary political climates. Adlakha emphasizes that the film doesn't shy away from holding everyone accountable for their actions within these larger societal forces.
