The first trailer for Nobody 2 starring Bob Odenkirk left me with a smile on my face as it was every bit absurd, ferocious and hysterical all at the same time. To put Odenkirk’s Hutch Mansell on vacation with his family only to have to exterminate bad guys with mass amounts of extreme prejudice was nothing short of genius. I am a fan of the first film, albeit a mild fan but this sequel, with Timo Tjahjanto helming, looks to check all the boxes for me with grandiose action design and balls to the wall violence and hijinks. Check out the final trailer and press release for the film’s release next month!
Bob Odenkirk returns as suburban husband, father and workaholic assassin Hutch Mansell in the new chapter to Nobody, the hit 2021 bare-knuckle action-thriller that opened at number one at the U.S. box office.
Four years after he inadvertently took on the Russian mob, Hutch remains $30 million in debt to the criminal organization and is working it off with an unending string of hits on international thugs.
Much as he likes the slam-bang action of his “job,” Hutch and his wife Becca (International Emmy nominee Connie Nielsen) find themselves overworked and drifting apart. So, they decide to take their kids (Gage Munroe, Paisley Cadorath) on a short getaway to Wild Bill’s Majestic Midway and Waterpark, the one and only place where Hutch and his brother Harry (Grammy and Emmy nominee RZA) went on a vacation as kids.
With Hutch’s dad (Emmy winner Christopher Lloyd) in tow, the family arrives in the small tourist town of Plummerville (“Plummerville is Summerville!”), eager for some fun in the sun.
But when a minor encounter with some town bullies yanks the family into the crosshairs of a corrupt theme-park operator (John Ortiz; Fast and Furious franchise, Bumblebee) and his shady sheriff (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Colin Hanks), Hutch finds himself the focus of the most unhinged, blood-thirsty crime boss he (or anyone) has ever encountered (Emmy winning and Oscar nominated screen icon, Sharon Stone).
Early birds that want to secure their seats for the premiere can do so now as they have officially gone live for pre-sale. The final trailer reaffirms my excitement for a sequel that will top the original and quite possibly make me love the first flick even more when I go back for repeat viewings.
Timo Tjahjanto (The Night Comes for Us, The Big 4) directs Nobody 2 from a script by Derek Kolstad (John Wick, Die Hart) and Aaron Rabin (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan), from a story by Derek Kolstad, based on characters created by Derek Kolstad. Action maestro David Leitch also serves as producer via his 87North production banner along with Kelly McCormick and Odenkirk himself.
To fuel the flames of hardcore excitement for this worthy second entry, Universal has unleashed a special featurette detailing how Odenkirk kept up with his training with action legend Daniel Bernhardt. Odenkirk was more than battle ready for the sequel and just like Jackie Chan, he needed no stunt double!
Nobody 2 storms into theaters on August 15th!
