Nobody Ending & Post-Credits Scene Explained: How It Sets Up Nobody 2
Bob Odenkirk’s Nobody ends on an explosive note. Here’s everything that goes down in the movie’s finale, along with its mid-credits scene.
IfNobody 2wraps filming in October, it’slikely that audiences can expect to see Odenkirk back in action as Hutch at some point in 2025. No official release date has been shared just yet, but it’s likely that one will be announced in the coming months if the film does indeed start production this summer. Assuming filming does wrap in October, the first promotional image for the movie could potentially arrive before the end of 2024.
Reviews forNobodywere generally positive, with critics praising Odenkirk’s committed action hero performance as Hutch. The film was one of a number of attempts to cash in on theJohn Wickaction style, and, while it was generally successful, the sequel now has an opportunity to further establish the franchise’s identity, further separating it from being just “Wicklite.” It remains to be seen howNobody 2will compare to the original, but it’s certainly sounding like audiences can expect to see the sequel sooner rather than later.
