More about Mickey 17
Mickey 17 takes place in 2054 and introduces audiences to a world where human expendability is commodified. Mickey Barnes escapes Earth to join a colony mission on Niflheim, where he agrees to be cloned and reprinted after every fatal mission.
Over time, the ethics of this job unravel, especially when two Mickeys are accidentally printed at once, challenging the hierarchy aboard the ship and threatening the colonization mission.
The plot deepens with themes of exploitation, class conflict, and identity. As Mickey 17 and Mickey 18 navigate their existence, the film shifts toward rebellion. The Creepers, native to Niflheim, play a crucial role in shaping the climax, which criticizes colonialism and power abuse.
The alliance between clones and Creepers disrupts the expedition’s leadership and brings about radical change. The film ends with peace, reform, and the destruction of the cloning device, symbolizing an end to the expendable program and a new beginning for humanity.
Production, direction and cast
Directed and written by Bong Joon Ho, the movie continues his tradition of mixing genre elements with sharp socio-political critique. The movie is Bong Joon-ho’s eighth feature film, and is known for hits like Parasite and Snowpiercer.
The film stars Robert Pattinson in a demanding dual performance as both Mickey 17 and Mickey 18. Naomi Ackie plays Nasha Barridge, Mickey’s love interest and a key ally. Steven Yeun plays Timo, Mickey’s morally ambiguous friend.
Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette portray Kenneth and Ylfa Marshall, whose manipulations drive much of the film’s conflict. Supporting cast members like Cameron Britton, Anamaria Vartolomei, and Patsy Ferran round out the diverse and talented ensemble.
Filmed with a production budget of $118 million, the movie premiered on February 13, 2025, in London, followed by its release in South Korea on February 28 and the United States on March 7.
