Bob Odenkirk may be over 60 years old, but he still makes action movies that become big hits with both critics and audiences. The 2021 film Nobody, in which Odenkirk stars alongside Connie Nielsen and Christopher Lloyd, was such a success that it quickly got a sequel, which just received an important update.
On his personal Instagram, Nobody 2 director Timo Tjahjanto announced that filming for the Odenkirk-led sequel has finished. The film will be in theaters on August 15, 2025. This gives the post-production team nearly a year to improve the visual effects and ensure everything meets high standards.
The first Nobody has an 83% score from critics and a 94% rating from general audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. This shows that expectations for the sequel are very high.
Derek Kolstad wrote the script for Nobody, and Ilya Naishuller directed the first film. However, Nobody 2 has brought together a mostly new team behind the camera to create the film. Kolstad will return to write the script for Nobody 2, and this time he will work with Umair Aleem, Aaron Rabin, and Odenkirk, who also has a writing credit for the film.
Timo Tjahjanto will direct, and he is well known for his work on the V/H/S franchise. He recently directed The Big 4, an action comedy that is currently available on Netflix.
Nobody 2 has also grown its cast by adding Sharon Stone as the main villain. Recently, John Ortiz joined the cast as well. Another notable addition to Nobody 2 is Colin Hanks, the son of Tom Hanks, who joined the cast at the beginning of August.
