The inspiration for "Mickey 17" comes from Edward Ashton's gripping 2022 novel, "Mickey7," which introduces us to the world of Mickey7, an expendable employee assigned a perilous mission to colonize the ice-covered planet, Niflheim.

 

Bong Joon-ho, known for his exceptional storytelling, has crafted the script, ensuring a captivating narrative that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.

 

 

 

What is the story about the novel Mickey 7?

 

Novel Mickey 7 explores the riveting tale of an employee named Mickey7, an Expendable—a disposable employee embarking on a bold human expedition aimed at colonizing the frigid expanse of Niflheim.

 

Within this futuristic narrative, Mickey takes on the crucial role of the go-to operative for missions considered excessively perilous, even bordering on suicidal, according to the apprehensive crew.

 

With each hazardous mission, Mickey confronts the prospect of the ultimate sacrifice, only to witness the regeneration of a new body, persisting with a retention of most memories from previous iterations.
