The cast of "Mickey 17" features Robert Pattinson, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, Naomi Ackie, and Steven Yeun. The film is set for an early international release, followed by its North American debut.
The synopsis reveals Mickey as an expendable crew member on the human colony of Niflheim, tasked with high-risk missions. Should he perish, a new Mickey is cloned, imprinted with most of his predecessor's memories, and sent back to serve the colony. During one such mission, Mickey 17 suffers an accident and is presumed dead. However, upon his unexpected return to the colony, he discovers he has already been replaced by Mickey 18. With the colony's strict policy against two Mickeys existing simultaneously – a discovery that would lead to both being decommissioned – Mickey 17's survival must remain a closely guarded secret.
