Bob Odenkirk will return in an upcoming sequel to the John Wick-style action-thriller Nobody, and we’ve learned this morning that Timo Tjahjanto (The Night Comes for Us, May the Devil Take You, V/H/S/94) will be taking over as the director of Nobody 2!
Variety reports that Universal Pictures will kick off production this August.
Alongside Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen will also be back for Nobody 2. The sequel’s script will be written by Derek Kolstad alongside Aaron Rabin, Bob Odenkirk and Umair Aleem.
Ilya Naishuller (Hardcore Henry) directed the first film, released in 2021. Bob Odenkirk starred as Hutch Mansell, an underestimated and overlooked dad and husband. A nobody.
But when two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son, Blake, is disappointed in him and his wife, Becca (Connie Nielsen), seems to pull only further away.
The aftermath of the incident strikes a match to Hutch’s long-simmering rage, triggering dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills. In a barrage of fists, gunfire and squealing tires, Hutch must save his family from a dangerous adversary—and ensure that he will never be underestimated as a nobody again.
