mickey 17 is based on the book Mickey7 by author Edward Ashton which dates from early 2022. This science fiction novel revolves around Mickey7, a so-called Expendable. They are expendable employees who travel with a human expedition with the goal of colonizing the ice world of Niflheim. During this expedition, the crew calls on Mickey for all the dangerous or even suicidal missions. If he dies in the process, a new body is regenerated with almost all memories intact. After six deaths, however, Mickey7 begins to understand more and more how everything works.
Because Warner Bros. Images film rights Mickey7 already purchased before the publication of the novel, there is a chance that the story of mickey 17 will differ slightly from the book.
