Summary
Nobody 2gets a new update, revealing that another actor from the original movie will be returning. Released in 2021,Nobodystars Bob Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell, a seemingly ordinary dad whose violent past begins to resurface after a traumatizing home invasion. The film was a hit, and Odenkirk is now set to reprise his role as Hutch in theannouncedNobody 2, which will be directed byThe Night Comes for Usdirector Timo Tjahjanto. Original movie star Connie Nielsen is already confirmed to return as Hutch’s wife, Becca.
Now,Deadlinereveals that Christopher Lloyd will also be returning inNobody 2, reprising his role as Hutch’s father, David Mansell. David played an important role in the latter half of the film as Hutch’s war against the mafia escalated, and he ultimately used his experience as a former FBI agent to hold his own in shootouts. There’s no word yet on the sequel’s plot or how David will fit into the story.
Nobody 2’s Cast Is Already Impressive
The Sequel Boasts A Strong Villain Actor
Odenkirk was, and perhaps still is, best known for his starring role inBetter Call Saul, where he plays sleazy criminal lawyer Saul Goodman. WithNobody, the actor took on an entirely different role than audiences had seen him play before, one that features some intense action sequences. Odenkirk, as theNobodyreviewspraised, is convincing as a former assassin, and he really throws his all into the fight choreography. Getting Odenkirk back was, obviously, crucial to the sequel.
Bob Odenkirk’s Nobody 2 Can Finally Answer The First Movie’s Biggest Mystery
Bob Odenkirk is confirmed to return to the action genre for Nobody 2, and the sequel can finally solve the biggest mystery from the first movie.
While a little less in the spotlight than Odenkirk, both Nielsen and Lloyd ultimately helped flesh out the world of the film, and gave Hutch important characters to care about as things become increasingly violent and more dire. Lloyd, especially, becomes an action hero in his own right during theNobodyending, despite now being 85 years old. As Hutch’s family (and as potential backup), both Becca and David are important additions toNobody 2.
Actors from the first film who are not yet confirmed to return in the sequel include: Michael Ironside, RZA, Colin Salmon, Gage Monroe, and Billy MacLellan.
At least one newcomer has been announced for the sequel, with actorSharon Stone now confirmed to be playingNobody 2’s villain. Stone is best known forBasic InstinctandCasino, and is certainly a more than suitable successor to Aleksei Serebryakov’s villain from the first film. WithNobody 2filming set to start this summer, it’s likely that more casting announcements and other news about the film will emerge over the next few weeks.
