Bob Odenkirk in Nobody 2 — 87North Productions

Before Bob Odenkirk turned in a seminal performance of TV’s prestige era playing Jimmy McGill and Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, he was most known for his comedy chops. People were surprised to see him step out of his comfort zone in the world of drama television, but it helped usher in a new reputation for the veteran, everyman star.

Odenkirk got to play an action hero in 2021’s Nobody, and the sequel is finally on the way. Nobody 2 might just be one of the best movies of the summer. Here is everything we know about it so far, from the cast to the trailer and the release date.

Is there a trailer for Nobody 2?

Nobody 2 | Official Trailer

Nobody 2 does have a trailer that gets us right into the thick of the action. Fresh off kicking ass in the first film, former assassin Hutch Mansell is back and trying to get away from the life of crime that put his family in danger in the first film. With his wife and kids by his side while trying to enjoy a family vacation, Hutch has plenty of new enemies to beat down and a bunch of new set pieces to bounce around while killing the bad guys.

It looks like the corny, easy-going tone of the first film is back yet again. What people loved so much about Nobody is that it embodied star Bob Odenkirk’s career and personality to a tee. Odenkirk is an actor who came from humble beginnings and has slowly climbed to the top of the totem pole in Hollywood. He experiments with new genres and never takes himself too seriously. Nobody 2 will try to encapsulate this aesthetic yet again with a thrilling action adventure that leans into the cheesy aspects of beat-em-ups while reveling in the camaraderie of the outstanding cast.

Who is starring in Nobody 2?

We know about Bob Odenkirk, but there are plenty of other good actors in this franchise that make it so fun.

Connie Nielson as Becca Mansell: Nielson returns as Hutch’s wife, who just wants to enjoy some family time with her husband and children. Nielson has previously been in other action films such as Inheritance, 3 Days to Kill, and Basic. She is also in the Gladiator franchise from Ridley Scott.
Christopher Lloyd as David Mansell: Lloyd is a personal favorite of so many movie fans, going back to his iconic performances in the Back to the Future franchise. Lloyd stole every scene in the first movie playing Hutch’s father. He has great chemistry with Odenkirk.
Colin Hanks: Tom Hanks’ most famous son will play a cop in this sequel and is the most famous new addition to the cast. Hanks was one of my favorite villains in Dexter back in the early 2010s, appearing as the season six antagonist.

When will Nobody 2 come out?

Nobody 2 will be released in theaters on August 15, 2025, over four years after the original film. The movie should be perfect for Better Call Saul fans who miss Odenkirk and action fans who want something besides John Wick on their screens.

Dystopian TV at its best: 8 must-see shows like The Handmaid’s Tale

These shows will make you think about the world in a new way

Elisabeth Moss in The Handmaid's Tale

If you're like me, you might have been taken by surprise to find out that one of Hulu's biggest original hits of the last decade was finally coming to a close this spring. The Handmaid's Tale dominated dystopian television discourse in the mid-to-late 2010s. It proved Hulu's worth in the streaming space and adapted Margaret Atwood's novel for a new generation of fans. While the first season was award-winning and fawned over by audiences worldwide, further seasons saw a decline in pop culture relevance.

What started out as a brilliant take on the consequences of women being forced to manipulate their bodies for the United States government teetered on repetitive as the characters maneuvered the same plot lines, and the themes bordered on stale. The final season just came to a close, and most people were happy with the sixth season and its finale. If you're already missing it and want other contemplative, post-apocalyptic shows, these are the shows like The Handmaid's Tale to watch next.

9 shows to watch if you love The Walking Dead

AMC's zombie show was a phenomenon. These shows will help you revisit that thrill

Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.

The Walking Dead started as a niche zombie series in the early 2010s, but it built up steam and transformed into a runaway hit just a few seasons after its inception. By the middle of the decade, Robert Kirkman's post-apocalyptic series was the most popular program on basic cable TV. It revolutionized long-form storytelling and created a rabid fandom that allowed it to run for over a decade and spawn many spinoffs.

Undead monsters aren't the only thing that made The Walking Dead such a fascinating and addictive watch, though. The depth of the characters and the survivalist strategies of the entire group made for thrilling, adrenaline-filled episodes that other shows had a hard time matching. We have the best shows like The Walking Dead to watch next if you love the binge-worthiness of world-ending drama in this comic book adaptation.
