    For people looking for more than a 30 second clip of Robert Pattinson rotating in a sci-fi setting that loops twice for some reason:

    Mickey 17 is an upcoming American science fiction film written, directed, and co-produced by Bong Joon-ho, based on the 2022 novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton. It stars Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo and Holliday Grainger and will be released from Warner Bros. Pictures on March 29, 2024. Feature adaptation of the science fiction novel by Edward Ashton follows the story of Mickey 17, an “expendable,” who is a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact.

    I'm curious how this one will differ, because the whole "clone in a sci-fi finds out/starts to remember he's a clone" is a trope at this point.
