In Mickey 17, based on the 2022 novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton, Robert Pattinson portrays Mickey Barnes, an “Expendable” crew member on a mission to colonize the icy planet Niflheim. Tasked with performing perilous duties, Mickey is cloned upon each death to continue his work. When Mickey 17 is presumed dead, a Mickey 18 is born and then confronted by his returning predecessor. Both versions must navigate their coexistence while battling the oppressive hierarchy of the colony.
