Mar 7, 2025

Everything you need to know about the sci-fi movie's final act

Mickey 17, the latest movie from Bong Joon Ho, is out now – and the follow-up to the director's Oscar-winning movie Parasite doesn't disappoint. The sci-fi movie stars Robert Pattinson as Mickey, an 'expendable' employee who lives in a human colony on the planet Niflheim under the leadership of the charismatic, tyrannical politician Kenneth Marshall (Mark Ruffalo) – and his wife Ylfa (Toni Collette), who's pulling a few of the strings behind the scenes.
Mickey has to undertake deadly missions to further human expansion on Niflheim. When he dies, he's 'reprinted', which means a new, identical version of him is created using a human printer. The version of Mickey we meet is number 17, but things start to get a little complicated when number 18 is printed while 17 is still alive…
If you've got any questions about the Mickey 17 ending, we get into everything you need to know below, but be warned: there are major Mickey 17 spoilers ahead, so proceed with caution if you don't want to know what happens.

Mickey 17 ending explained

After the skirmish at the talk show, the baby Creeper is captured and sent to the science department, and Mickey 17, Mickey 18, and Mickey's girlfriend Nasha are imprisoned. They escape after an altercation with Mickey's friend Timo (who's trying to kill Mickey on behalf of the debt collector looking for the pair of them back on Earth), but are caught again by a group of agents. Brought before Kenneth Marshall, they try to explain that the Creepers (the species native to Niflheim) saved Mickey and are nothing to fear. He doesn't listen and Nasha explodes at him, which culminates in Marshall dangling the baby Creeper over the incinerator in a fit of rage. He forces Nasha to take the end of the rope attached to the baby and hold it in her mouth to stop it falling into the fire below.
