Bob Odenkirk stars as Hutch Mansell in Nobody 2, an action sequel blending gritty violence and family drama, with an 82% Rotten Tomatoes rating, releasing August 15 worldwide.
- Nobody 2, starring Bob Odenkirk, opened worldwide in theaters on August 15, 2025, as the sequel to the 2021 film Nobody.
- The sequel followed Hutch Mansell's attempt to save his family while juggling a dual storyline that critics said caused focus issues and felt thin.
