Guide on Viewing Mickey 17
Mickey 17, the highly-anticipated science fiction dark comedy, has finally made its way to screens around the world. Based on the book Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton, the film stars Robert Pattinson in a unique double role.
In the movie, Pattinson portrays Mickey Barnes, a character who dies and is replaced, but a complication arises when he doesn't actually perish, and a new copy is produced. The film also features an impressive cast including Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.
Initially planned for a 2024 release, the film was pushed back to 2025 due to Hollywood strikes and studio shuffling. Despite the delay, Mickey 17 has been well received, with Bong Joon Ho, the Oscar-winning director of Parasite, at the helm.
Mickey 17 is currently streaming on JioHotstar, starting from August 7, 2025. For those in regions where JioHotstar operates, this provides an exciting opportunity to watch the film. However, in many countries, the film is not yet available on major streaming services like HBO Max.
