Mickey 17’s new trailer is a reminder to read the small print

Ahead of Mickey 17’s debut in a few weeks, Warner Bros. has dropped a new trailer that really makes the film’s vision of terraforming alien planets look like absolute hell — at least for the working class.

Everyone has an important role to play in Mickey 17’s take on a future where humanity is trying to colonize other worlds. But in the new trailer, it’s clear that Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) has no idea what he’s agreeing to when he signs up to be an “expendable” on a ship headed to the desolate ice planet Niflheim.

Mickey doesn’t think there’s anything strange about how, once they make it to Niflheim, his crewmates all stay on their ship while encouraging him to wander outside with his helmet off and take deep breaths of whatever viruses might be hanging out in the atmosphere. And he doesn’t even seem all that concerned once his little excursion seemingly leads to a lethal infection that involves coughing up a lot of blood. It’s awful, but it’s also what Mickey’s colleagues expect for him because it’s his job to be a guinea pig who dies over and over again before being cloned by way of a 3D printer.

Though the new trailer gets increasingly more gruesome, it also leans into the movie’s humor as it spells out how messed-up of a situation Mickey has wandered into. And when Mickey 17 hits theaters on March 7th, it’ll probably leave us all reminded of why it’s important to always read your labor contracts.
