John Ortiz, currently stealing hearts in Apple TV+'s hilarious crime caper 'Bad Monkey,' has gracefully joined the star-studded ensemble of 'Nobody 2,' the highly anticipated sequel to the 2021 sleeper hit crafted by 87North Productions. Reprising his iconic role, Bob Odenkirk slips back into the skin of a seemingly unassuming family man who harbors a dark past as a retired government assassin. This explosive ensemble also boasts the talents of Connie Nielsen, Sharon Stone, the legendary Christopher Lloyd, and the charismatic Colin Hanks.
At the helm of this adrenaline-fueled sequel is Indonesian visionary Timo Tjahjanto, renowned for his spine-tingling horror and pulse-pounding action spectacles like 'May the Devil Take You' and his electrifying contributions to the 'V/H/S' anthology. Currently filming in the vibrant city of Winnipeg, the film's plot remains shrouded in mystery, locked away in a basement vault of intrigue.
Penning this thrilling script are Derek Kolstad, Aaron Rabin, Umair Aleem, and none other than Odenkirk himself, weaving a tale that promises to leave audiences on the edge of their seats. Universal Pictures has set its sights on a theatrical release for 'Nobody 2' on August 15, 2025, marking a date that moviegoers won't want to miss.
Odenkirk is not only reprising his role but also producing the film alongside Kelly McCormick and David Leitch, the dynamic duo behind 87North and their fruitful partnership with the studio. Joining forces with them are Marc Provissiero of Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment (known for 'No Hard Feelings') and Braden Aftergood of Eighty Two Films, ensuring that every aspect of this action-packed thriller is nothing short of exceptional.
Ortiz, who was last seen dazzling audiences in Chris Pine's 'The Poolman' and sharing the screen with Jeffrey Wright in the Oscar-winning 'American Fiction,' brings his unique charm and depth to the project, further elevating its already impressive cast. Represented by Gersh, Principal Entertainment LA, and Schreck Rose, Ortiz's addition to 'Nobody 2' is a testament to his undeniable talent and versatility.
