Mickey 17 Is Available to Watch at Home After Only One Month in Theaters
Everything we know about the newest Bong Joon Ho movie, including who's in the cast and how to watch online.
The award-winning director Bong Joon Ho returns, and this time he brought Twilight and The Batman veteran Robert Pattinson along for the ride. Mickey 17 stars Pattinson as an "expendable," someone who's sent into hostile environments to die, only to be repeatedly brought back as a clone and die again. One could argue the original "Mickey" was Cedric Diggory, who Pattinson himself claims is the character he'd most like to "give a second chance at life."
In his Mickey 17 review for IGN, critic Siddhant Adlakha highlights the philosophical underpinnings of the otherwise "depressing" sci-fi comedy: "Mickey 17 is confrontational by virtue of its pessimism, transforming a mostly straightforward novel into a stark reflection of how the current political moment came to be – albeit without letting anyone (least of all, those of us at the mercy of these larger forces) off the hook for our own transgressions."
After just one month in theaters, Mickey 17 is now available on digital platforms. Whether you still plan on catching Mickey 17 in theaters or want to watch it at home, check out the details below.

How to Watch Mickey 17 Online
Mickey 17 just released on digital marketplaces and is now available to rent or buy, though notably at similar prices to the physical release.
Streaming Release Date
Mickey 17 will eventually stream on Max instead of Netflix or Hulu because distributor Warner Bros. owns the Max streaming service. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, a 2024 movie from Warner Bros., arrived on Max exactly three months after its theatrical release. Assuming the new Bong Joon Ho movie follows a similar timeline, Mickey 17 will most likely arrive on Max by late July.
Physical Release
Mickey 17 is already set for a physical release, with a limited edition Mickey 17 4K UHD steelbook up for preorder. The limited edition steelbook, Blu-ray, and DVD are all set to release on May 13.
