Nobody 2: Everything we know

If you’re dying to find out more about Nobody 2, you’re not alone, so here’s what we know about Bob Odenkirk’s upcoming action-packed sequel.

Bob Odenkirk garnered a ton of attention as the slick mouthed lawyer Saul Goodman on one of the best TV shows of all time, Breaking Bad, but it was 2021’s Nobody that cemented him as an action movie star.

The film followed Hutch, a seemingly normal every day guy with a boring job and family who is revealed to be a deadly assassin after he becomes the target of a ruthless crime lord.

Fans were itching to be dropped back into the world of assassination once more, so they were thrilled when Nobody 2 was announced to be in development. But, has there been any updates about the new movie? Here’s everything we know.

Is there a Nobody 2 release date?

Nobody 2 doesn’t have a release date. At the earliest, it’ll be out in 2025.

Speaking to Collider, producer Kelly McCormick revealed plans for Nobody 2 to enter production in 2023. “We hope to make it next year, so fingers crossed,” she said.

“So our theory is you don’t need to make a good sequel just to make a sequel. We need to make a great sequel. And so it’s about making sure that we get it right. And if we do, I think there’s a lot of hope that we can go next year.”

The SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes will have impeded any further development last year, but according to Connie Nielsen, it’s definitely in the works.

According to David Leitch, the movie is in the early stages of development, with Nobody 2 still going through the scriptwriting process.

As of June 2024, it was announced by Collider that the movie will go into production in August 2024. That puts it on track for a late 2025 release, hopefully, though it could bleed into 2026 if things don’t run smoothly.

Nobody 2 cast: Who will be in it?

Casting details for Nobody 2 have yet to be finalized, though it’s expected Bob Odenkirk will return to reprise his role as Hutch Mansell. Connie Nielsen will also likely return as his wife Becca.

It is possible that Christopher Lloyd and RZA will also come back for Nobody 2, playing Hutch’s father and brother, David and Harry Mansell.

With the Russian Mob likely hot on Hutch’s trail following the bloody conclusion of the 2021 sleeper hit, we’re sure to see someone fill the villain spot left behind by Aleksei Serebryakov.

Is there a Nobody 2 trailer?

There isn’t a trailer for Nobody 2 yet, but we’ll share it here as soon as it appears online.

In the meantime, revisit the first film’s incredible bus fight below:

Nobody 2 plot: What will it be about?

As Nobody 2 begins to pick up the pace behind the scenes, we’re still awaiting official plot details. However, before David Leitch confirmed Nobody 2 was going ahead, Bob Odenkirk revealed to Empire in February that a story had already taken shape.

Odenkirk explained that “Universal has been very upbeat and welcoming. Derek [Kolstad] and I have talked story. It’s not a sure thing yet, but we’re working on it. I think the signs point to yes.”

John Wick fans will recognize the name Derek Kolstad, as the screenwriter wrote the first three chapters of the Keanu Reeves-led franchise.

Will Nobody 2 crossover with John Wick?

Both Nobody and the John Wick franchise are produced by David Leitch, utilizing his expert stunt team, 87/Eleven. The similarities between the two franchises are noticeable, as Hutch and Wick operate in shady worlds of assassination fuelled by mysterious currency, ethics and leadership.

Though Hutch’s world is a tad more grounded than the gloriously chaotic heights of Wick, it hasn’t stopped the filmmakers and fans pondering whether a crossover could happen.

Nobody director Ilya Naishuller told IndieWire in March 2021: “I love when the people ask, ‘Is it the same universe?”

“I’m like, ‘Alright, I can’t say anything. But what you could do is look at which studio made which movie and then think about the reality of doing a crossover,” continued Naishuller.

The director added that “everything’s possible. Stranger things have definitely happened.”
