According to Deadline , Lloyd is officially returning as David Mansel. Now we wait and see if another big actor from the Nobody family will return: RZA as Harry Mansell. A previous report revealed Nobody 2 would head into production in Winnipeg in August. The first film's director, Ilya Naishuller, will not be returning for the sequel. Timo Tjahjanto ( The Night Comes For Us ) is taking over as director while Derek Kolstad, Aaron Rabin, Umair Aleem, and Odenkirk are writing the script. The movie is currently scheduled to be released in August of 2025.
"I thought a lot about Atomic Blonde actually and Charlize [Theron] was so amazing in that movie," Odenkirk explained. "Our movie has a specific kind of character DNA. I think with that film in that, you know, she played an action hero who was amazingly skilled but also felt the pain when she got hurt. That great sequence in the middle where she's fighting the guy in the apartment. And by the way, the person she fights is Daniel Bernhardt, maybe the best stunt actor in the world and he's the person who trained me for Nobody . But you can see the pain in their eyes. They're getting hurt as they fight and they're getting fatigued and that's sort of something that's been missing from action films for a decade or two, which is that the hero really suffers. And I wanted to present that in our movie, Nobody ."
"I wanted to play a guy who accrues that damage and who really is struggling through the pain that he's feeling as it grows through the movie," Odenkirk added. "The thing that's different is, I hope I play an action hero who was very uncertain. The great moment that Ilya Naishuller orchestrated in the bus where I say, 'I'm gonna f-ck you up.' If I played it right, I played a look in my eyes that is not so sure that he's gonna succeed. But he's sort of declaring it as an intention."
