Article Summary

First poster for Nobody 2 debuts at CinemaCon, releasing August 15, 2025.
Universal previews upcoming slate, including a Nobody 2 standee.
Nobody was a pandemic hit, spurring Universal to greenlight a sequel and Violent Night follow-up.
Bob Odenkirk returns with Timo Tjahjanto directing; film hopes for similar success on a modest budget.

Nobody 2 is set to come out later this summer, and Universal hasn't shown us anything from the movie so far. It seems like that is going to change at CinemaCon this week. CinemaCon is the annual convention in Las Vegas where Cinema United, previously the National Association of Theater Owners, press, studios, and theater companies gather to discuss the industry's past, present, and future.

Movie studios usually have presentations each year, previewing their upcoming theatrical slate to show theater owners why the theatrical experience is worth investing in. On the show floor, we also get a glimpse of new posters and standees each year. Universal has a standee and lightbox for Nobody 2, and the friendship bracelet aspect is fantastic.

Nobody and Violent Night: Universal's Bloody 1-2 Pandemic Punch

Nobody was a rare pandemic movie that did well at the box office and was well received by critics and audiences. Universal seemed to understand there was some serious potential there if they decided to tap into it, and it, along with Violent Night, became the two R-rated series that the studio was looking to pursue new entries. We didn't hear much about the film for a while until news came out of South by Southwest in March 2024, which detailed the studio's commitment to both franchises. There was also the fact that star Bob Odenkirk had some major health issues in the summer of 2021, and obviously, ensuring he is healthy is the most important thing. In June 2024, director Timo Tjahjanto (The Night Comes For Us, May The Devil Take You) signed on to director Nobody 2, with Odenkirk and Connie Neilson set to reprise their roles. Christopher Llyod, Sharon Stone, and Colin Hanks have either reprised their roles or joined the cast. The first film made $57 million on a budget of $16 million, so we can hope Nobody 2 will also be modestly budgeted so it doesn't have to break the bank to get out of the red at the box office. Nobody 2 will be released on August 15, 2025.
