Bob Odenkirk’s upcoming Nobody 2 has received an encouraging filming update four years after the release of the original, confirming when production of the movie is going to start. The 2021 original starred Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell, a seemingly regular father and office worker who uses his secret skills as a government assassin to thwart a Russian mob he conflicts with. The movie was critically praised for its action and lead performances, with the upcoming Nobody 2 confirmed in 2022.

Now, Production List has offered an encouraging filming update, revealing that Nobody 2 is slated to begin filming on January 6, 2025. The sequel is going to be filming in Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada, and will seemingly feature the return of Ilya Naishuller as director and David Kolstad as the writer. This confirmation means the film is finally moving forward four years after the original was released.

When Will Nobody 2 Get Released?

The First Movie’s Release Delays Make It Difficult To Predict

The latest update for the upcoming Odenkirk-led action movie is a good sign that more is going to be revealed about the sequel soon. The first Nobody movie ended with Hutch taking a phone call that seemingly puts him back in the middle of something, while a post-credits scene hints at Harry and David going on a mission. This may be what to expect from the sequel, with all three characters pursuing a new goal now that they’re officially in their action grooves once again.

Since production isn’t going to start until January 2025, it’s hard to pinpoint when the sequel is going to be released. The first movie was filmed in 34 days between September and October 2019, with the release delayed until March 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, with no pandemic to interrupt the release schedule this time, the movie could come out not long after filming happens. If the sequel’s production time is just as short as its predecessor, then it’s not out of the realm of possibility for Nobody 2 to get released in late 2025.

Given the setup of the first movie, it’s also safe to say that the cast of Nobody will be reprising their roles during Nobody 2. This would mean plenty of unpredictable action sequences much like the first movie, only this time with a story that continues beyond the mysterious phone call Hutch got at the end. With plenty of directions for the next movie to go, more information will likely be revealed once it’s closer to the filming start date.
