The film is already generating excitement across the sci-fi and cinema worlds. Adapted from Edward Ashton's 2022 novel Mickey 7, it follows the journey of Mickey Barnes, played by Pattinson, an interplanetary colonist with a grim occupation—he's an "expendable." Whenever Mickey is tasked with dangerous missions that lead to his death, he's simply cloned, carrying on his mission as if nothing happened.
Bong Joon Ho's previous films, such as Parasite (2019), Snowpiercer (2013), and OKJA (2017), dealt with issues like class divisions and food production in imaginative ways. Mickey 17 is likely to follow suit, but this time, the story is set in outer space, offering a fresh playground for Bong to examine human nature against the vast backdrop of the cosmos.
Fans of Bong Joon Ho's work are eagerly anticipating how he will spin this futuristic tale into another brilliant commentary on society, all while maintaining his signature dark humor. The stellar cast of Mickey 17 adds to the excitement, with Robert Pattinson leading the charge as Mickey, and supporting performances by Steven Yeun and Mark Ruffalo.
