Mickey 17 star Naomi Ackie’s life off-screen including tragic loss

Naomi Ackie returns to the silver screen in a new thrilling narrative by Oscar-winning director Bong Joon-ho.

In Mickey 17, she stars alongside Robert Pattinson, who plays the lead role of Mickey Barnes.

The film centres around Mickey, a dispensable worker on a colonial mission to an icy planet named Niflheim. His job on the colony ship involves undertaking perilous tasks, only to be cloned each time he perishes.

Ackie takes on the role of security agent Nasha Barridge, who initiates a romance with the first version of Mickey and remains loyal through his multiple lives.

While many cinema-goers may recognise her from Zoe Kravitz’s 2024 thriller Blink Twice, Ackie has enjoyed a diverse career since 2015.
