The 38-year-old actor will appear in the untitled film with Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, Naomi Ackie, and Robert Pattinson. The story of Mickey7, a man on an expedition to colonise the ice world Niflheim, is the focus of the movie, which is based on the author Edward Ashton’s Mickey7 novel, which was released in February.
This disposable worker accepts risks that are too great for anyone else, and after his death, he regenerates as a clone with the majority of his memories still there. According to the official synopsis of the movie, when Mickey7 is assumed to be dead, he returns to the mission’s base to discover that a new clone, Mickey8, has taken his place.
