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?

Nobody (2021) – Tattoo Shop Scene

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.

Elevate your elegance: Choosing your first cigar

Face, Head, Person

Earlier this year, I was strolling the streets of New York and ended up sitting in the Carnegie Club with an Old Fashioned in one hand and a cigar in the other while My Way by Frank Sinatra played from a speaker flanking leather-bound books behind the couch I had been using as my perch. It was my first cigar, but it led to a slight obsession that recently found me on the back deck of a lodge in Kenya, staring at Mount Kilimanjaro and smoking a stick while giraffes meandered by. Admittedly, there has been no intention in my budding hobby; I am aimlessly choosing the cigars that look good (the ones that look like those smoked by Arnold or Stallone in the movies, obviously). But I have decided to approach these in a new way, with a little help from my friends over at La Aurora, who graciously decided to navigate my ignorance with some info compiled by Brand Manager John Gaglio, with input from Master Blender Manuel Ynoa, CEO Ed McKenna, and Brand Manager Elvis Batista.

What to look for in your first cigar

FIFA’s Gianni Infantino Is Uglifying the Beautiful Game With $20 Billion Plot — But the Global Soccer Community’s Punching Back

People, Person, Crowd

For the better part of two decades, perhaps even more, corruption has allegedly run rampant within FIFA. Sepp Blatter, in particular, became the face of alleged extortion schemes, and he operated with impunity while at the helm of the organization for 17 years, from 1998 until his forced resignation in 2015 amid an FBI corruption probe. He’s banned for life from all football-related FIFA activities. If you’re new to the organization’s alleged deep connection to corruption, Netflix offers a brilliant 2022 documentary, FIFA Uncovered. In that documentary, Gianni Infantino appears in his previous capacity as Secretary General of UEFA (2009-2016) and later as the newly elected FIFA president, who vowed to root out corruption and hand the beautiful game back to the people where it belongs.

That, as it turns out, was all wishful thinking.

Escobar Cigars, Co-Owned by Nas, Drops Four-Profile Robusto House Blend Collection

Blade, Knife, Weapon

Imagine that, Nas is getting closer to ruling the cigar world. The legendary rapper’s Escobar Cigars, which he co-owns, is making waves with the launch of a new four-profile House Blend collection. The launch is in partnership with Cigar Chief, one of North America’s largest premium cigar retailers.

The Manual has not yet had the chance to do a taste review (a pack is on the way), but Escobar Cigars says the four-profile House Blend collection (Maduro, Premium Blend Connecticut, Habano, and Connecticut Robusto) “has its own distinct wrapper, filler, and strength profile,” and that “all four are rolled in 5 x 52 Robusto format using classic Cubano entubado construction.”
