The eagerly awaited sequel “Nobody 2” is set to commence filming this August, marking the return of Bob Odenkirk as the enigmatic Hutch Mansell. According to Collider, production will span from August to October, signaling a swift return to the action-packed world of Hutch Mansell’s unexpected journey into the life of an assassin.
However, there’s a notable change behind the camera for “Nobody 2”: Director Ilya Naishuller, who helmed the original film to critical acclaim, will not be returning for the sequel.
The studio is currently on the hunt for a suitable replacement director and is also in the process of finalizing the cast. The sequel will once again be filmed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, maintaining the atmospheric setting that contributed to the first film’s gritty appeal.

Released in 2021, the first “Nobody” introduced audiences to Hutch Mansell, portrayed by Odenkirk, initially depicted as an unassuming family man.

Directed by Naishuller and written by Derek Kolstad, the film was a hit among critics and action enthusiasts alike, boasting an impressive 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
While plot details for “Nobody 2” are currently under wraps, fans can expect the sequel to go deeper into Hutch’s complex character and deliver the same adrenaline-pumping action that defined its predecessor.
