Better Call Saul & Breaking Bad star Bob Odenkirk has closed a deal to return as former government assassin and would be family man Hutch Mansell in  sequel to brilliant 2021 action film Nobody.

Nobody 2 sees original director Ilya Naishuller this time replaced by Indonesian filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto, previously responsible for Headshot and The Night Comes For Us.

John Wick creator and writer Derek Kolstad who penned the first film, has written the sequel’s screenplay alongside Aaron Rabin, Odenkirk, and Umair Aleem.

Details of the plot for the sequel remain under wraps for now but likely to deliver on the first flm’s post credits scene which saw Hutch making a fresh start with his family, only to receive a mysterious phone call implying he may have returned to being a gun for hire.

Production is expected to begin on Nobody 2 later this year, with the film currently aiming for a 15 August, 2025 release date.
