Steven Yeun is starring in a movie that is based on a book. The book is about an expendable named Mickey7. He is sent on a human expedition to colonize the ice world Niflheim. This is nothing unusual for him because whenever there’s a mission that’s too dangerous, the crew turns to Mickey.

When one version of the expendable dies, their memories are usually transferred to the new body. But when Mickey7 is eventually killed, he returns to the mission’s base to find that a new clone has taken his place.

Bong Joon Ho will write and direct a movie called Mickey7. He is producing it under his company Offscreen. Other producers include Kate Street Picture Company and Plan B. This follows their success on the movie Okja. Peter Dodd will oversee the project for Warner Bros. There is currently no release date for the movie Steven Yeun is starring in.
