It is confirmed that Bob Odenkirk is back for Nobody 2, the sequel from Universal Pictures to the 2021 action movie similar in vein to Lionsgate’s John Wick flicks.
The first film saw Odenkirk as suburban husband and dad, Hutch Mansell, whose house gets broken into by two thieves. When Hutch refuses to defend himself and his family, hoping to prevent serious violence, his teenage son is disappointed in him, and his wife, Becca, seems to pull only further away.
Well, it turns out Hutch has a certain set of skills as he’s a former government assassin. 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.
