The acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho has teamed up with Robert Pattinson, known for his roles in Twilight and The Batman, for his latest project, Mickey 17. In this film, Pattinson plays an "expendable," a character who is sent into dangerous situations, dies, and is then revived as a clone to face death repeatedly. This concept echoes Pattinson's wish to give his Harry Potter character, Cedric Diggory, a "second chance at life."
IGN's Siddhant Adlakha praised Mickey 17 for its philosophical depth, describing it as a "depressing" sci-fi comedy that confronts the audience with its pessimism. The film transforms Edward Ashton's novel into a reflection on current political climates, holding everyone accountable for their actions within larger societal forces.
