Bob Odenkirk's Nobody Sequel Wraps Filming: Get Ready for More Action-Packed Thrills

Filming for Bob Odenkirk's highly anticipated sequel, **Nobody 2**, has officially wrapped. Director Timo Tjahjanto took to Instagram—not, mind you, to just update us on the film’s progress but to share his existential musings along with his snapshots of filmic mementos, like the movie's clapboard. “The body is exhausted, yet the heart is full; the pride is humbled while the universe is expanding,” he mused, which, frankly, sounds like something one might say after a solid therapy session following a marathon shoot.

But let's not gloss over the highlight of his post—calling Odenkirk “one hell of an uncle.” It’s always nice to know that Hollywood has its own version of family get-togethers, even if those gatherings involve less potato salad and more high-octane action sequences. We were promised a sequel back in the sun-drenched days of summer, complete with a shiny release date for 2025, and the baton has been passed from director Ilya Naishuller to Tjahjanto, who’s known to slip in a horror edge every now and then—even in action films. One can only hope the tension translates into a family drama worthy of a soap opera, with plenty of jump scares.

We can expect the return of Odenkirk as our favorite assassin-turned-family man, Hutch Mansell. Along for the ride are Connie Nielsen and Christopher Lloyd reprising their roles as Hutch’s wife and father, respectively. And let’s not forget the addition of Sharon Stone, stepping into the villain’s shoes. One can only wonder what devious plans are waiting to unfold; perhaps she’ll channel some of that classic ‘Basic Instinct’ energy into this new delightfully chaotic narrative.

Interestingly, Nielsen has shared her excitement about diving back into the nuances of family dynamics in **Nobody 2**. “I’m a family person,” she said, and who isn’t these days? “I love depicting the tensions inside of a family; the natural tensions, but also the sweetness that underlies the love that connects all of these people together.” It’s a delicate balancing act, akin to walking a tightrope while holding a cup of hot coffee—nobody wants to spill.

The original **Nobody**, released in 2021, has solidified its place among the action-packed offerings by David Leitch and Kelly McCormick’s 87North Productions—where every film feels like a wild ride, whether it's getting trains or violent nights involved. This production house has also birthed the John Wick universe, which is set to expand with several spinoffs, each one more tantalizing than the last. Who knew Ballerina Eve Macarro (played by Ana de Armas) would be on a vengeful quest against family killers, perhaps affecting a grace note between kicks and pirouettes?

Additionally, rumors swirl about Halle Berry wanting to revisit her character Sofia from **John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum**. A franchise built around the idea that revenge is best served cold—and preferably with a side of stylish combat—keeps us on the edge of our seats, or at least our couches.

And as for Odenkirk, while **Nobody** may have showcased his action chops, he’s been juggling diverse roles, from an appearance on FX's **The Bear** to headlining AMC's ill-fated **Lucky Hank**. Now, he's gearing up for a new Western film called **Normal**, partnered once again with writer Derek Kolstad. Yet, as with most things promising in Hollywood, the release date remains as elusive as the plot details for **Nobody 2**.

So, mark your calendars, folks! **Nobody 2** hits theaters on August 25, 2025. In the interim, here's hoping we all remember that some days are a little hectic—but, much like Tjahjanto’s philosophical post, they also expand us in the most unexpected ways.
