Mickey 17 is an upcoming science fiction film directed by Bong Joon-ho, known for acclaimed films like Parasite and Snowpiercer. The movie is based on the 2022 novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton.

The story centers around Mickey, an "expendable" human assigned to a dangerous, colonization mission on a distant ice world called Niflheim. As an expendable, Mickey is expected to undertake life-threatening tasks, knowing that his consciousness can be transferred to a new body upon death. However, when Mickey returns from a deadly mission and discovers that a clone has already taken his place, it sets off a conflict and raises questions about identity, survival, and the morality of human cloning.

The cast features Robert Pattinson as Mickey, and the film is set to be released in 2024, generating high anticipation due to Bong Joon-ho's reputation for blending genre storytelling with deep, thought-provoking themes.

The movie seems to carry forward Bong's signature style of combining thrilling sci-fi elements with social commentary, making it an exciting prospect for sci-fi fans.
