Bob Odenkirk kept training since 'Nobody' for bigger sequel

1 of 5 | Bob Odenkirk, seen at the 2025 Tony Awards in New York City, returns in "Nobody 2." File Photo by Angelina Katsanis/UPI | License Photo July 17 (UPI) -- Universal Pictures released a behind-the-scenes look at Nobody 2 on Thursday. The film opens Aug. 15 in theaters. In the featurette, star Bob Odenkirk tells viewers he continued training after he wrapped the first Nobody, which opened in 2021. For that film, he trained two years with Daniel Bernhardt and the 87eleven Action Design team. On the set of Nobody 2, Odenkirk is seen offering to do extra takes and lifting weights on the set claiming, "Come on, that's not hard." Bernhardt confirmed that Odenkirk was ready for more in the sequel. "Bob was already on a whole different level," Bernhardt said. "It's a whole different game now." Producer David Leitch, who co-created the John Wick franchise and has directed Atomic Blonde, The Fall Guy and more, said Nobody 2 took advantage of Odenkirk's new skills. "When you get an actor that does that and immerses themselves, it allows you to create action that you couldn't create for some other actor who doesn't have the discipline," Leitch said. "We can amp up the level in this film." Odenkirk returns as Hutch, a retired assassin who takes his family on vacation and stumbles upon another criminal operation. He fights bad guys on a boat, in an arcade and an elevator, among other action settings.

‘Wicked' Concert Special Featuring Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo Sets Air Date

NBC's upcoming Wicked concert special finally has a broadcast date, with the network announcing Wednesday (July 9) when fans will get to watch Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's live performances of songs from the musical. Arriving just a few weeks ahead of Wicked: For Good, the special will air on NBC at 8 p.m. ET on Nov. 6. The following day, the concert will become available for streaming on Peacock.

It'll take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The air-date announcement comes two months after NBC first shared that the Billboard Hot 100-topping star and Tony winner would reunite on stage for a Wicked special event. The concert is expected to bolster the hype around Part 2's premiere, which will come almost exactly a year after the first film in the duology dropped. As of late May, Part 1 had grossed more than $755.9 million worldwide. 'She's able to access her rage more,' Erivo recently told Billboard of what happens to Elphaba in the upcoming film. 'The scent I wore changed. The makeup changed. Little shifts that bring you to a more mature version of who Elphaba becomes. And she is delicious in this next one.' Erivo and Grande haven't performed much Wicked material together offscreen, although they did join forces at the 2025 Oscars to sing 'Defying Gravity' together on stage. The former also performed 'Home' from The Wiz while the latter belted out 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' from The Wizard of Oz; later that night, Wicked took home best costume design and best production design.
