While I adored the first Nobody, I wasn’t totally in love with Nobody 2 last summer, but I love Bob Odenkirk as every man action hero Hutch Mansell and would be totally seated for more installments and if Odenkirk and director Timo Tjahjanto have anything to do with it, we might well be spending another few years with the Mansell family.
“I think there’s four films,” Odenkirk said, “Hey, look, you saw the second movie. You see what happens? The kids get four years older. We shot the first film four years ago. Same two kids play my kids in the movie. Paisley Cadorath, Gage Munroe, great actors. And I like the idea that we see everybody grow up and we see them go through different stages of life and a marriage, go through different stages too.”
So, Odenkirk likes the idea of revisiting the family over the course of the years? I think that’s something that could be a lot of fun to develop in a movie series… the hitman and his family.

Tjahjanto knows Odenkirk’s idea and reckons there’s more to explore too: “I said to Bob, “We can go both ways. We can have the family become even more involved in your action, or we can go completely Breaking Bad.”
“I was saying, “Bob, think about this. Open in a desert, and there’s a trailer park, where Hutch Mansell sits there by himself, fully bearded, holding a shotgun. His wife and his kids have left him, and now he’s alone.” He was like, “Well, that’s really dark.”
The first movie, while having an undoubtedly fun undercurrent, was a fairly straight-faced adventure, while the second leaned heavily into the silliness of the whole thing, so it seems that this franchise could have both cakes and eat them too.
More Hutch on the big screen? I’ll take it.
Thoughts? I know you have them and I wanna hear ‘em all!

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
