Nobody 2 is officially happening – and here is what we know so far, about the movie coming out as part of the 2025 movie release schedule.
When you think of action stars, one you might not think of is Bob Odenkirk. That’s right, the Bob Odenkirk who has been around in the industry for years, but has blown up in the last decade due to his critically-acclaimed performance as Saul Goodman in both the hit AMC series Breaking Bad and its prequel, Better Call Saul.
Bob Odenkirk as an action hero was something I never really thought about – that was, until I saw Nobody, a film that was released in 2021 and followed a normal man who had to return to his past life full of danger when his house is robbed and he becomes the target of a drug lord. While there are plenty of great Bob Odenkirk movies to watch, we’re all waiting for Nobody 2, so here is what we know so far.
What Is The Nobody 2 Release Date?
At the time of updating this in July 2024, Nobody 2 is slated for release on August 15, 2025, according to a Deadline report in June 2024. So while it won’t be on any 2024 movie schedule, we can at least look forward to it next year.
The Nobody 2 Cast
Right now, we don't know much about the Nobody cast, but here is who we can expect to see:
Bob Odenkirk As Hutch Mansell
So far, there’s only been one cast member confirmed for Nobody 2, and that’s Bob Odenkirk, as confirmed by the Deadline article above.
Obviously, it wouldn’t really be Nobody if the star himself, Bob Odenkirk, didn’t return to the leading role. And, especially since the film sort of ended in a cliffhanger, it would only make sense for him and his family to come back.
While many probably know Odenkirk from Better Call Saul, the finale of Better Call Saul aired in 2022, and the Breaking Bad universe has seemingly come to an end for now. Odenkirk has appeared in other projects such as The Bear, Lucky Hank and more, but it’ll be exciting to see him return to this.
Other Expected Cast Members That Could Return
While no one else is officially confirmed for Nobody 2, here is who could return for the sequel from the first movie:
- Connie Nielsen as Becca Mansell
- RZA as Harry Mansell
- Michael Ironside as Eddie Williams
- Colin Salmon as The Barber
- Christopher Lloyd as David Mansell
- Billy MacLellan as Charlie Williams
- Gage Munroe as Blake Mansell
- Paisley Cadorath as Abby Mansell
The only other person here that we can safely say is pretty much confirmed is Connie Nielsen, because she speaks on the new movie in an interview regarding the story with Screen Rant in January 2024. Aside from that, no one else is confirmed. I’m sure it won’t be long before we know exactly who is going to star in this film.
What Nobody 2 Is About
While plot details have remained pretty much under wraps, we do have some kind of an idea thanks to an interview that Connie Nielsen did with Screen Rant, where she said that the sequel will hint at the “tensions” that have grown in the family since the first film:
On top of that, you have this family again. I'm a family person and I love depicting the tensions inside of a family; the natural tensions, but also the sweetness that underlies the love that connects all of these people together. This is a great family. It's a great story that I look forward to returning to, definitely.
Aside from this, we really know nothing else about the story. We know that the script was worked on for years. When David Leitch, a producer on Nobody, was promoting his 2022 film, Bullet Train in August, he spoke with Collider again and teased that a script was being worked on, and that everyone was on board in order to make this movie:
Oh, I think everyone's really excited about it. Everyone involved is like, 'Full steam ahead.' We are in the script process, and I think we had so much fun making that. Kelly and I had a blast, the actors had a blast, the studio loved the results, and it's happening. I mean, I think it's happening as fast as we can make it happen.
Now, we officially know from that report with Deadline that the script was written by Derek Kolstad, Aaron Rabin, Odenkirk, and Umair Aleem. I’m just eager to see where this story goes.
Timo Tjahjanto Will Direct
Confirmed by the June 2024 Deadline article above, Timo Tjahjanto will direct Nobody 2. The first film was directed by Ilya Naishuller, but it seems Tjahjanto will be taking over responsibilities for the sequel.
The director has worked on various movies such as The Night Comes For Us, The ABCs of Death, The Big 4 and more.
Production Will Reportedly Begin In 2024
Originally, Collider reported in December 2022 that filming was supposed to begin in 2023, but that didn’t happen (obviously). Now, however, that the movie has officially been confirmed and a release date is set, production looks to begin. Collider reported back in early June 2024 that the studio was looking to begin production in the summer of 2024, saying they were looking for the perfect director.
Now that a director is confirmed, I would not be surprised if this was the case. Hopefully, it won’t be long before we get official confirmation about filming.
