An Icarus EVA spacesuit from Danny Boyle's sci-fi thriller Sunshine. The crew of the Icarus II wore their spacesuits while operating outside of the ship, including Capa (Cillian Murphy) and Kaneda's (Hiroyuki Sanada) repairs to the Icarus II's shield, and Capa, Mace (Chris Evans) and Harvey's (Troy Garity) attempt to return to the Icarus II from the desolate Icarus I ghostship. The gold foil spacesuits were inspired by the work of NASA, and were intended to shield the crew from the heat of the sun. Boyle has also stated that the design of the helmet, with its very narrow viewing slit, was inspired by the character of Kenny from South Park.

The spacesuit is a mixture of original production pieces and replacement parts to complete the display. The helmet, torso, gloves and boots are all original pieces, while the arms are reconstructed using golden foil-like material that was purchased for the production, but ultimately unused. The legs are entirely new.

The helmet is made of metal and resin, covered with foil, while the body is largely made of fibreglass. The torso of the spacesuit features several decals, which show the suit's serial number and other information, indicating that it was from the original Icarus mission. "Dick" is handwritten inside the back of the torso, and a Velcro® patch is secured to the exterior of the back. The spacesuit is finished to resemble metal and is intentionally distressed to look well used in the vacuum of space.

The lot is presented on a custom-made display stand. It has some scuffing and scratches from production use. One of the panels on the back of the helmet has come away and a piece of black tape is stuck to the rear of the suit. The golden foil on the left arm has split along a seam. Dimensions: 90 cm x 90 cm x 192 cm (35 1/2" x 35 1/2" x 75 1/2")
