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" named Mickey, who is repeatedly sent into dangerous situations, dying and being reborn as a clone. The concept echoes Pattinson's wish to give his character Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter a "second chance at life."

IGN's critic Siddhant Adlakha praises the film's deep philosophical themes in his review, describing "Mickey 17" as a sci-fi comedy that delves into pessimism. He notes that the movie transforms a straightforward novel into a stark reflection on current political climates, holding everyone accountable for their actions within larger societal forces.
