Nobody 2: Bob Odenkirk’s Assassin Dad Takes a Deadly Family Vacation

The Return of an Unlikely Action Hero

Nobody 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2021 action thriller, has arrived in theaters on August 15, 2025. Directed by Timo Tjahjanto, the film continues the story that captivated audiences in the original Nobody.

Box Office Performance and Reception

In its initial release, the film has already made its mark at the box office, grossing $37 million worldwide and receiving positive reviews from critics. The film currently holds a 78% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising Bob Odenkirk’s performance and noting how the sequel measures up admirably to the original.

Plot and New Developments

The story follows Hutch, who remains $30 million in debt to the Russian criminal organization and is working it off through international hits. The constant work has taken its toll on his relationship with his wife Becca. To reconnect, the family decides to visit Wild Bill’s Majestic Midway and Waterpark, a nostalgic location from Hutch and his brother Harry’s childhood.

Star-Studded Cast

The film sees the return of familiar faces including Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen, RZA, Colin Salmon, Gage Munroe, Paisley Cadorath, and Christopher Lloyd. New additions to the cast include Sharon Stone as Lendina, a ruthless crime boss with a personal grudge, Colin Hanks as a shady town sheriff, and John Ortiz as a businessman with criminal connections.

Behind the Scenes

The film is helmed by Timo Tjahjanto, known for his hyper-violent and kinetic style, with the script written by Derek Kolstad (John Wick) and featuring contributions from Bob Odenkirk, Aaron Rabin, and Umair Aleem. The sequel takes inspiration from 1980s action movies, which has particularly resonated with fans of classic action cinema.

Looking Ahead

Nobody 2 builds upon the elements that made the original successful – brutal action, dark humor, and Odenkirk’s signature deadpan delivery – while raising the stakes with a bigger cast, fresh creative direction, and more emotional depth.
