The movie is called Mickey 17and it stars the Batman himself, Robert Pattinson.
[So, theyre not clones theyre human prints.]
Because its freaking insane.
We start with a spaceship floating over a planet.
He admits he feels a little dizzy when something slices off his hand and it floats out into space.
Mickey admits he didnt read the full system so he wasnt sure what that meant.
So, as an expendable, hes gotta do all sorts of different missions.
Its fine, says Mickey, and they shove him down into the flames.
At one point we see a version of him fall through the ice and land totally out of reach.
Meanwhile, a friend asks him What does it feel like to die?
Mickey tells him even though hes used to it after 17 times, he still doesnt like it.
Which is when Mickey goes to his room and lays down next to… another Mickey.
Why arent you dead?
asks the other Mickey, Mickey 18, who has a much more normal, confident voice.
To which the other responds But Im you.
he retorts and they continue to fight.
So, yeah, Mickey 17 looks pretty damned wild.
A movie about dealing with death, but also about figuring out how to live.
And multiple Roberts Pattinson.
Mickey 17 opens in theaters January 31, 2025.
