Bob Odenkirk he would “love to do more” Nobody films.
The Breaking Bad star led the cast of the first action movie in 2021 and has returned for a sequel – Nobody 2 – which hits cinemas on Friday (15.08.25) and Bob is adamant he wants to return to the role again in future but he’s currently focused on the release of upcoming crime thriller Normal and then wants to take a break from action to focus on comedy.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: “I’d do more [Nobody movies]. I’d love to do more of it, but I don’t think I’m going to dig right in.
“I have another action film called Normal that’s coming out [in September], so that’s already in the can.
“But, right now, I think I want to do some comedy if they’ll let me … “
He added: “I would do more [Nobody character] Hutch. I would do a third or fourth [Nobody] film.
“It would be about the journey of the family and the tensions that change as you move from one chapter to the next.
“You tell yourself: ‘This is going to be it now. I’m going to enjoy this chapter of my life and I’m going to be carefree’. But then you find that it has just as many frustrations and shortcomings as the last chapter.”
In Nobody 2, Bob reprises his role as family man and former assassin Hutch, who is seen taking his family on vacation before being drawn back into action-packed drama and the actor admits it was difficult finding he right plot for the second film.
He told the publication: “We played around with different stories for Nobody 2, and it was hard to find a story that felt right.
“I kept asking myself: ‘What is the real reason people liked the first one so much? What is it?’
“And I didn’t mean the obvious stuff like the fights being good and a little more visceral than what you’re used to seeing.
“At the core of Nobody was this guy, his family and the tensions within it that all seemed authentic …
“We wanted to have Hutch take his family to a place [called Plummerville], which, in his mind, is the coolest place [from his childhood] …
“We wanted to have that series of disappointments that can happen when you’re a parent and you take your kids on this trip that you’re so excited about doing.
“The unimpressive waterpark is then closed when you get there, and you even booked the wrong hotel rooms. You didn’t think twice about putting the two kids in the same room. You just weren’t thinking, and you go: ‘S***, this is supposed to be fun. F****.’ “
