Nobody could have predicted this. Nobody was just an unexpected hit—it’s shaping up to be a full-blown franchise. What makes it even more incredible is that the film quite literally saved Bob Odenkirk’s life.
To clarify: during the intense physical training he underwent for the first Nobody film, Odenkirk built a level of fitness that later proved crucial. When he suffered a heart attack in 2021, he credited that very training for helping him survive and recover. That’s not just a behind-the-scenes anecdote—it’s a real-life testament to how this role transformed him, both professionally and personally.
And honestly, if you’d told me back in 1995 that the quirky guy from Mr. Show would one day emerge as a legitimate action hero, I’d have laughed it off. Yet here we are—Bob Odenkirk, action icon. Reality does outdo fiction sometimes.
Bob Odenkirk returns as suburban husband, father and workaholic assassin Hutch Mansell in the new chapter to Nobody, the hit 2021 bare-knuckle action-thriller that opened at number one at the U.S. box office.
Four years after he inadvertently took on the Russian mob, Hutch remains $30 million in debt to the criminal organization and is working it off with an unending string of hits on international thugs.
Much as he likes the slam-bang action of his “job,” Hutch and his wife Becca (International Emmy nominee Connie Nielsen) find themselves overworked and drifting apart. So, they decide to take their kids (Gage Munroe, Paisley Cadorath) on a short getaway to Wild Bill’s Majestic Midway and Waterpark, the only place where Hutch and his brother Harry (Grammy and Emmy nominee RZA) went on a vacation as kids.
With Hutch’s dad (Emmy winner Christopher Lloyd) in tow, the family arrives in the small tourist town of Plummerville (“Plummerville is Summerville!”), eager for some fun in the sun.
But when a minor encounter with some town bullies yanks the family into the crosshairs of a corrupt theme-park operator (John Ortiz; Fast and Furious franchise, Bumblebee) and his shady sheriff (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Colin Hanks), Hutch finds himself the focus of the most unhinged, blood-thirsty crime boss he (or anyone) has ever encountered (Emmy winning and Oscar nominated screen icon, Sharon Stone).
