Nobody 2 Gears Up for Production: What to Expect from the Sequel

The highly anticipated sequel to “Nobody,” starring Bob Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell, is set to begin filming in January 2025. Directed by Ilya Naishuller and written by Derek Kolstad, “Nobody 2” promises to delve deeper into Hutch’s enigmatic past and explore his family’s dynamics. The first film’s mid-credit scene hinted at more action, with Hutch, Harry, and David embarking on a mysterious RV trip filled with weapons.

While the release date is yet to be officially confirmed, expectations point towards a late 2024 premiere, assuming the production timeline remains on track. The first film only took 34 days to shoot, suggesting that the sequel could follow a similar schedule. Despite the delays caused by the 2023 Writers and Actors strikes, the production team is optimistic about delivering another action-packed installment.

Bob Odenkirk’s return is virtually guaranteed, with the actor expressing enthusiasm for continuing the story, potentially envisioning a trilogy. Alongside him, it’s likely that RZA and Christopher Lloyd will reprise their roles as Harry and David Mansell, respectively, although official casting confirmations are still pending.

Fans can anticipate not only intense action sequences but also potential connections to the John Wick universe, given the involvement of David Leitch and Derek Kolstad. With no trailer released yet, promotional materials are expected to start appearing around mid-2024, building excitement for what promises to be a thrilling follow-up to one of the best action movies in recent yearsó.
