First Image of Nobody 2 Shows Bob Odenkirk Back and Ready for Action

Bob Odenkirk is back in action and looking more brutal than ever in Nobody 2! The first look at Odenkirk’s return as Hutch Mansell has just dropped, and it’s clear he hasn’t lost his touch when it comes to taking down bad guys.

In a new image shared by Empire as part of their 2025 preview, Hutch stands bloodied but ready, aiming his gun at an unseen foe, suggesting he’s just come out of a wild brawl.

Director Timo Tjahjanto opened up about what fans can expect from the sequel, hinting at deeper questions this time around. “Now that [Hutch is] back at it in full throttle, how does his family react to this beast?” Tjahjanto teased. “You’ll see a lot of the questions that fathers and husbands ask — ‘How do they react to this other side of me who’s constantly hustling and working for the family?’ It’s gonna be quite a journey.”

The original Nobody hit theaters in 2021 and was a surprise hit, raking in $57.5 million worldwide against a modest $16 million budget as cinemas were bouncing back from the pandemic. Critics and audiences alike praised Odenkirk’s jaw-dropping transformation into a full-fledged action hero, with many stunned by the fact that he did most of his own stunts. Known for his iconic role as Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Odenkirk’s jump to action star proved he’s a force to be reckoned with.

Nobody 2, which began production over the summer, is set to premiere in August 2025. This time, Odenkirk will be joined by a star-studded cast: Christopher Lloyd reprises his role as Hutch’s tough-as-nails father, while newcomers Colin Hanks steps in as a “corrupt sheriff” and Sharon Stone is set to play the main villain.

While the first film was a hit, often compared to John Wick thanks to its writer Derek Kolstad, the sequel aims to go even bigger. Director Tjahjanto, known for his creative flair in action films like The Big 4 and The Shadow Strays, is set to push the boundaries even further. Fans hope Nobody 2 will take a page from the John Wick playbook and expand its universe with deeper world-building and even more explosive action.
