Hutch Mansell Is Back, and Things Get Crazier This Time
If you watched the first Nobody movie and thought, “Wow, this quiet dad is not what he seems,” then you’ll probably love what’s coming. The trailer for Nobody 2 is out now, and honestly, it looks even more intense than the first one. Bob Odenkirk returns as Hutch Mansell—still looking like your average suburban guy, but definitely not living an average life. From what the trailer shows, Hutch is once again pulled into a bunch of trouble, probably because someone made the mistake of crossing the wrong guy. And yeah, the action? It’s wild. We’re talking boat anchors and carnival game mallets being used in fights. It’s kind of crazy, but in a fun way.
The Cast and Crew Are Shaking Things Up
This sequel brings back some familiar faces, like Connie Nielsen as Hutch’s wife and Christopher Lloyd, who had one of the best surprise roles in the first movie. But there are new additions too—like Sharon Stone, which was unexpected but interesting. Her role isn’t totally clear yet, but it’s definitely something people will be watching for. RZA and Colin Hanks are also involved, adding more flavor to the mix. The director this time is Timo Tjahjanto, an Indonesian filmmaker known for some intense action movies. His work is usually super fast, super raw, and doesn’t hold back—pretty much a perfect fit for this kind of story. The original writer Derek Kolstad (who also helped with the John Wick series) is still on board, so the tone should stay familiar.
Why People Actually Care About This Sequel
Nobody wasn’t expected to become a hit, but it kind of blew up. It made over $57 million, which is solid, but more than that, it built a fan base. A lot of people really liked the idea of a regular guy—someone you’d never expect—snapping and fighting back. It wasn’t just the action either. There was something emotional in the way Hutch’s story was told, and that came from a real place. Bob Odenkirk has shared that he had real-life experiences with break-ins, and this film helped him process all that. So when you watch it, it doesn’t feel fake or over-the-top—it feels personal. That kind of energy seems to be sticking around for the sequel too. And with it hitting theaters on August 15, it’s definitely something worth keeping an eye on.
