What if your dad was secretly a John Wick-level assassin? That was the basic premise of Nobody, a 2021 action movie starring Bob Odenkirk, whose sequel, Nobody 2, is on the 2025 new movie calendar.
Nobody was critically acclaimed but failed to drum up big box office numbers as it was released, as movie theaters were just getting going again post-pandemic. However, those who saw the movie loved it, as evidenced by its “Certified Fresh” and “Verified Hot” ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. That love for the movie is likely a big reason why Nobody 2 got the green light.

Nobody 2 release date
Universal Pictures is releasing Nobody 2 on August 15 exclusively in movie theaters in the US, UK and elsewhere around the world.
That puts it in the tail end of the summer movie season, where it is one of WTW’s most anticipated blockbuster movies.
Nobody 2 cast
Bob Odenkirk returns as Hutch Mansell, the assassin turned suburban dad. Prior to becoming an action star with Nobody, Odenkirk was best known for his Emmy-nominated role (inexplicably, he never won) as Saul Goodman in Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad. He is also well known for co-creating and starring in the comedy sketch series Mr. Show with Bod and David.
Other confirmed returning cast members from the original movie include Connie Nielsen (Gladiator 2) as Hutch’s wife Becca and Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future) as Hutch’s dad David.
New additions to the cast that have been announced include Colin Hanks (A Friend of the Family), John Ortiz (Bad Monkey) and Sharon Stone (The Flight Attendant season 2).
Nobody 2 plot
Here is the official plot for Nobody 2:
"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 find themselves overworked and drifting apart. So, they decide to take their kids on a short getaway to Wild Bill’s Majestic Midway and Waterpark, the one and only place where Hutch and his brother Harry went on a vacation as kids. With Hutch’s dad in tow, the family arrives in the small tourist town of Plummerville, 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 and his shady sheriff, Hutch finds himself the focus of the most unhinged, blood-thirsty crime boss he (or anyone) has ever encountered."
