After making headlines by winning best film at the Oscars with the non-English film Parasite (which is now on Netflix), Bong Joon-ho is back with his next film of a rather different nature.
Based on Edward Ashton’s novel, Mickey 17 is set in a dystopian world where mankind attempts to colonize another planet. Before they can do so, they need a test subject human that can be killed and then brought back to life – also known as an expendable. That unfortunate job falls to the awkward Mickey, played by Robert Pattinson.
This is a space epic mashed with black humour and political parallels and could be a hit at the cinemas. If you can’t go and see it on the big screen, we’ve rounded up everything we know about the home release of Mickey 17.

When could Mickey 17 be available to stream?
Max is Warner’s streaming platform, and will no doubt be the first platform to get Mickey 17 in the US.
Most films take around two to three months to drop on this platform after hitting cinemas, so Mickey 17 will likely drop on Max in May or June 2025.
Warner films are usually syndicated on Sky Cinema/Now in the UK and have usually arrived a little after the US debut. So, a late spring/early summer UK streaming debut for Mickey 17 seems plausible.
