Director Bong Joon Ho returns to science fiction with Mickey 17, and the Robert Pattinson-led film has already hit a major box office milestone, soon expected to surpass $30 million. This isn’t Bong’s first venture into futuristic sci-fi—his acclaimed film Snowpiercer, starring Chris Evans, also explored similar themes. Both films serve as sharp critiques of capitalism, using their futuristic settings to highlight class divisions, a hallmark of many great sci-fi stories.
