Mickey 17 Max Release Date Set for Robert Pattinson Movie's Streaming Debut
Following its home video release, Warner Bros. has finally announced the HBO Max release date for the upcoming global streaming debut of Bong Joon Ho's latest sci-fi black comedy. Since its world premiere at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, the Robert Pattinson-led movie has received a Certified Fresh rating of 77% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 331 reviews. This is a bit low compared to Bong's acclaimed 2019 movie Parasite's near-perfect Tomatometer score.
'The unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes (Pattinson) has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living,' reads the official synopsis.
Mickey 17 will be available for streaming starting on Friday, May 23, on HBO Max. This will then be followed by its broadcast debut on HBO on Saturday, May 24. The cast also included Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice), Steven Yeun (Beef, Minari), Toni Collette (Hereditary), Mark Ruffalo (Avengers: Endgame, Poor Things), Holliday Grainger (The Capture), Anamaria Vartolomei (Happening), Thomas Turgoose (This Is England), and more.
The movie was written and directed by Bong Joon Ho (Parasite, Memories of Murder) based on the 2022 novel Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton. This marked Bong's latest English-language feature after over a decade since directing the Snowpiercer starring Chris Evans. The film was produced by Bong, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Dooho Choi, with Brad Pitt, Jesse Ehrman, Peter Dodd, and Marianne Jenkins serving as executive producers.

'Superman': DC's $225M Gamble To Save The DCU
Come July 11, 2025, James Gunn's Superman will soar into theaters, carrying the weight of DC Studios' rebooted DC Universe (DCU) on its caped shoulders. A recent report from The Wrap lays bare the stakes: with a hefty $225 million budget, this film isn't just a movie—it's a proving ground for Warner Bros. Discovery's future. Can Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran make the Man of Steel fly again, or will the DCU crash before it even takes off? The Numbers Game: $500M to Survive, $700M to Thrive According to industry insiders cited by The Wrap, Superman needs to hit $500 million globally to break even, factoring in marketing and distribution costs. That's the bare minimum to turn a modest profit. But for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) CEO David Zaslav, modest isn't enough. The studio is banking on DC—alongside Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings—to pull it out of a financial slump, with $37 billion in debt from the 2022 Discovery-WarnerMedia merger still looming. To be a true win, Superman needs to rake in closer to $700 million worldwide, signaling that audiences are buying into Gunn's vision. A talent agent told The Wrap, 'The simple brand recognition of Superman will probably take them to or close to $500 million worldwide, but anything above that will be because the audience identifies with the title character.' The real challenge? Making an 'Eisenhower-era' hero like Superman resonate with Gen Z in 2025. It's not about competing with summer heavyweights like Jurassic World: Rebirth (July 2) or Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps (July 25)—it's about whether Clark Kent, played by David Corenswet, feels fresh and relatable. Why Superman Matters Superman isn't just another superhero flick; it's the cornerstone of the DCU's 'Gods and Monsters' chapter, setting the tone for projects like Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow , Lanterns , and Peacemaker Season 2. The film follows Clark Kent as he balances his Kryptonian roots with his human upbringing, with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. Gunn's track record with Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy gives him cred, and the first trailer racked up over 250 million views in 24 hours, a record for Warner Bros. But after the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) fizzled out with flops like Joker: Folie à Deux and The Flash , the pressure is on. Zaslav's all-in on DC, hyping Superman with a marketing blitz akin to Barbie , which grossed $1.44 billion. Insiders say he's 'rallied the entire company' behind the film, with tie-ins across Food Network and HGTV. Box office projections are optimistic—Box Office Theory predicts a $154–175 million opening weekend, potentially topping Batman v Superman 's $166 million DC record. But if it falls short, the fallout could be brutal. What Happens if Superman Stumbles? A flop could spell trouble for WBD's leadership. Zaslav's already facing heat after high-budget misfires like Joker: Folie à Deux , which lost nine figures, and Mickey17 . Rumors swirl that studio heads Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy are on thin ice, with some speculating Safran could replace them if Superman succeeds. But pulling Safran from DC Studios might disrupt Gunn's plans, creating a Catch-22. DC's strategy is already shifting. Projects like Sgt. Rock have been scrapped for now. An insider noted, 'Supergirl is a much safer bet than, say, Sgt. Rock, which despite a good package, is a property with zero awareness.' DC seems to be playing it safe, greenlighting Supergirl to extend the Superman mythos ( filming has already wrapped ) while holding off on riskier bets like Booster Gold or Swamp Thing until Superman 's performance is clear. Batman Can't Do It Alone Batman remains DC's golden goose, with The Batman: Part II in development and The Brave and the Bold inching along. Whispers of a World's Finest team-up movie pairing Superman and Batman could be a slam dunk, echoing the DCEU's Batman v Superman pivot. But as one studio insider put it, 'Outside of anything Batman-related, DC will most likely wait to react to how Superman performs before deciding on which superhero from their library to tackle next.' Batman can't carry the DCU solo—Superman needs to prove there's room for other heroes. The Road Ahead Gunn and Safran are unlikely to face the axe after one misstep, but the next few years will be a tightrope walk. They're balancing bold swings with lesser-known characters against the need for crowd-pleasers. Early buzz is promising—SuperHeroHype cites strong tracking polls—but superhero fatigue is real, with 2023's DCEU films and Marvel's The Marvels underperforming. Gunn's focus on standalone stories, where viewers don't need to watch Creature Commandos to enjoy Superman , could help. July 11 will tell us if audiences are ready to believe a man can fly again. If Superman hits that $700 million mark, it'll cement the DCU's foundation. If it stalls at $500 million or below, WBD might face leadership shake-ups, project cancellations, or even talk of being acquired, as some fear it could 'go the way of Fox.' Whatever happens, this is DC's moment to shine—or rebuild in real-time.

Peacemaker: James Gunn Teases John Cena vs. Batman in DCU
James Gunn wants to see John Cena's fight Batman in the DCU. Gunn and Peter Safran's DCU officially kicked off last December with the animated Creature Commandos series. Gunn's Superman movie is now being released in United States theaters next month before Peacemaker Season 2, which is part of the new shared DC universe, arrives in August 2025. At CCXPMX 25 this past weekend, per ComicBookMovie, Cena and Gunn were both asked who they'd like to see Cena's Christopher Smith character fight at some point in the DCU. While Cena didn't have an answer, Gunn said that he wants Peacemaker to fight Batman at some point. At this time, it's not clear who will be playing the Dark Knight in the DCU, as no official casting announcement has been made. A Batman movie titled The Brave and the Bold is currently in the works and is being directed by The Flash's Andy Muschietti, though there haven't been a lot of substantial announcements since that project in some time. Peacemaker Season 2, meanwhile, premieres on HBO Max on August 21, 2025. The season will have eight episodes in total. 'The new season follows Christopher 'Chris' Smith, aka Peacemaker, the vigilante Super Hero as he struggles to reconcile his past with his newfound sense of purpose while continuing to kick righteous evil-doer butt in his misguided quest for peace at any cost,' the official logline reads. Along with Cena, the cast of Peacemaker Season 2 includes Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase/Vigilante, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, Steve Agee as John Economos, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Sol Rodríguez as Sasha Bordeaux, Tim Meadows as Langston Fleury, Michael Rooker as Red St. Wild, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Filion as Guy Gardner, and Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord.
