Bob Odenkirk is back as Hutch Mansell in Nobody 2, the sequel to the surprise 2021 hit! Odenkirk, known for his comedic roles and his iconic portrayal of Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, surprised audiences with his transformation into an action star in the first Nobody. Now, he's diving back into the world of high-octane violence and dark humour.
What to Expect in Nobody 2
In Nobody 2, Hutch is trying to enjoy a family vacation, but trouble, as always, finds him. Odenkirk has mentioned his inspiration for the film, citing Jackie Chan's Police Story as a key influence. He aims to strike a balance between humour and serious action, ensuring that Hutch's actions, however extreme, are always driven by genuine intent.
The film sees Hutch and his family heading to Wisconsin Dells when they encounter more than they bargained for.
Filming Locations: Not Where You Think!

Production took place between August and September 2024, transforming the Canadian landscape into the backdrop for Hutch's latest adventure. Visiting Winnipeg in the summer offers a similar ambiance to the film's setting.
- Key Scenes: Winnipeg Beach and downtown Winnipeg feature prominently.
- Transportation: Winnipeg Transit offers public transport, while rental cars are ideal for exploring outside the city.
