What was the story of ‘Nobody’?

‘Nobody’ saw Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell, an underestimated and overlooked dad and husband, taking life's indignities on the chin and never pushing back. A nobody.

When two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son, Blake (Connie Nielsen), seems to pull only further away.

The aftermath of the incident strikes a match to Hutch’s long-simmering rage, triggering dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills. In a barrage of fists, gunfire and squealing tires, Hutch must save his family from a dangerous adversary.

What will ‘Nobody 2’ be about?

There are zero official plot details for the new movie –– once again written by Derek Kolstad –– though the end of the original did hint at Hutch continuing to embrace his re-emerged badass side, with Becca playing a more active part.
