Nobody 2: Bob Odenkirk Returns as Hutch Mansell in Action-Packed Sequel

A Thrilling Return to Action

Nobody 2, directed by Timo Tjahjanto, is the newly released sequel to Nobody (2021), which hit theaters on August 15, 2025.

The story follows Hutch Mansell, who finds himself $30 million in debt to a criminal organization four years after his encounter with the Russian mob. While working off his debt through international hits, Hutch and his wife Becca struggle with their relationship as they become increasingly overworked and distant.

Star-Studded Cast and New Additions

The film sees the return of the original cast including Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen, RZA, Colin Salmon, Gage Munroe, Paisley Cadorath, and Christopher Lloyd. New additions to the ensemble include Sharon Stone, John Ortiz, and Colin Hanks.

Box Office Performance and Critical Reception

As of early September 2025, Nobody 2 has accumulated $37 million worldwide, with $21 million from domestic markets and $16 million from international territories. The film has received positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, 78% of critics have given the film positive reviews, with the consensus praising Bob Odenkirk’s performance and noting how the sequel measures up admirably to the original.

Future of the Franchise

While the ending of Nobody 2 leaves room for a potential third installment, and Odenkirk has expressed interest in returning as Hutch, the sequel’s current performance suggests that another movie, if made, might need to adjust its budget expectations. In today’s challenging theatrical market, movies need to feel like events to draw audiences to theaters. While Nobody 2 may not have generated that level of buzz in theaters, it shows promise as a potential digital hit, following the tradition of successful mid-budget action movies in the VOD landscape.
