The film follows an unlikely hero named Mickey Barnes (Pattinson), who, per a synopsis, "has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job … to die, for a living."
But each time Mickey dies, a new version of him is generated through a human-printing process. He’s then sent back to a dangerous job over and over again.
At CinemaCon in Las Vegas in April 2024, Pattinson teased the film and expressed his excitement for playing "two very fun characters," according to Entertainment Weekly.
"Mickey 17 is someone who has the lowest expectations of his life, and yet the world keeps pushing those expectations, to the point where he has a job that tortures him every day. And then 18 comes along, and he's got frontal lobe damage and no self-control, libido out of control," he explained. "It's like playing an evil brother or twin."
