Summary “Mickey 17” is an exciting sci-fi thriller with a star-studded cast that includes Robert Pattinson, Steven Yeun, and Mark Ruffalo.
The film’s plot, based on the novel “Mickey7,” involves a character who can die repeatedly and return with memories intact.
“Mickey 17” shares similarities with “Edge of Tomorrow,” offering a potential substitute for the long-awaited sequel to Tom Cruise’s film.
At the beginning of 2025, Warner Brothers is releasing Mickey 17, which is not only exciting for its unique concept and star-studded cast, but also because it is the perfect replacement for a sci-fi sequel that is taking more than 10 years to happen. Directed by Bong Joon-ho, Mickey 17 is a sci-fi thriller following Mickey, an “expendable” who goes on a mission to colonize an ice world, however when he unexpectedly dies, his new body forms with almost all his memories intact. Mickey 17’s cast includes Robert Pattinson, Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, and Thomas Turgoose.
Mickey 17 has a lot going for it, even so far away from its release date. The movie’s cast is outstanding, with each actor coming off of huge successes, like Mark Ruffalo’s Poor Things, Steven Yeun’s Beef, and Robert Pattinson’s The Batman. Furthermore, this film is the first for writer and director Bong Joon-ho since his Oscar-winning film, Parasite. However, Mickey 17 is not just strong due to its cast and crew. Its story, based on the 2022 novel “Mickey7,” by Edward Ashton, is also something to anticipate, especially because of its striking similarities to another beloved science fiction film.

WB’s Mickey 17 Sounds Similar To Tom Cruise’s Edge Of Tomorrow
Both movies use repeated deaths in a sci-fi setting
Close
Part of the excitement surrounding Mickey 17 is the commonalities it has with Tom Cruise’s movie, Edge of Tomorrow. Not only are both movies deeply ingrained in the sci-fi genre, but they also use a fairly similar plot device. Where Mickey 17’s main character is an “expendable,” which can die repeatedly but return via “human printing,” Edge of Tomorrow’s Cage enters a time loop which allows him to die and resurrect himself over and over again. Both characters face these horrible circumstances, and yet, it seems that their memories are the key to their stories.
What is especially great about Mickey 17 and Edge of Tomorrow’s similarities is that the 2025 movie can be a sort of replacement for the Edge of Tomorrow sequel that still has yet to happen.
Although Edge of Tomorrow 2 was discussed soon after the first movie’s release, it has been ten years and a movie still has yet to occur. In this way, Mickey 17 can be a stand-in for what has yet to happen. Mickey 17 can delve into a new yet similar world that, hopefully, can appease the impatient fans of Cruise’s Edge of Tomorrow.
Will Edge Of Tomorrow With Tom Cruise Ever Happen?
Edge of Tomorrow 2 is still in the works
Edge of Tomorrow 2 is definitely happening. The movie was jumpstarted in 2015 when Tom Cruise claimed he had a strong idea for a sequel. Director Doug Liman signed on, and since then, has been the film’s biggest advocate. From 2016 to 2019, the script went through various rewrites, and was headed toward production when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Emily Blunt then cast doubt on the film, mentioning its high budget. However, in Janaury 2024, it was revealed that Tom Cruise would be starring in various Warner Brothers movies and Edge of Tomorrow 2 would be one of them.
