Nobody 2 Trailer: Bob Odenkirk Gets Violent as Tickets Go on Sale
Universal Pictures has released a new trailer for its highly-anticipated action thriller sequel, which will debut in theaters on August 15. Tickets for Bob Odenkirk-led movie are now officially on sale. 'Four years after he inadvertently took on the Russian mob, Hutch remains $30 million in debt to the criminal organization and is working it off with an unending string of hits on international thugs,' reads the official synopsis. 'Much as he likes the slam-bang action of his 'job,' Hutch and his wife Becca find themselves overworked and drifting apart. So, they decide to take their kids on a short getaway to Wild Bill's Majestic Midway and Waterpark, the one and only place where Hutch and his brother Harry went on a vacation as kids. With Hutch's dad in tow, the family arrives in the small tourist town of Plummerville, eager for some fun in the sun.' Check out the Nobody 2 trailer below (watch more trailers): What happens in the new Nobody 2 trailer?

The sequel also includes Connie Nielsen, John Ortiz, RZA, Colin Hanks, Christopher Lloyd, Michael Ironside, Billy MacLellan, Gage Munroe, and more.

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.

Comedian Mary Lynn Rajskub on Risk-Taking
For comedian and actor Mary Lynn Rajskub, creating a steady stream of comedy since the 1990s has been both fun and a form of therapy. Plus, as she told me, "Being a woman and getting paid less, I don't have time to stop. You just keep going!" True to her word, Mary Lynn has not stopped. She's been on such iconic shows as 24, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Mr. Show, The Larry Sanders Show, and her new hit, North of North, just got picked up for a second season on Netflix. She's also got multiple standup specials, including her new one, Mary Lynn Rajskub: Road Gig, which you can watch for free on YouTube as soon as you finish reading this. Related: Best-Selling Author and Cartoonist Stephan Pastis on His Creative Process: 'I Often Look Down to Make Sure I Have Pants On' I love talking with comedians for our How Success Happens podcast because, to me, their profession is the most personal form of entrepreneurship imaginable — you and the words coming out of your mouth are the product. And it's a product that needs constant updates and iterations, and you have to be more than comfortable with risk. You never know when a joke is going to unite everyone with a good laugh, or cancel you into oblivion. Mary Lynn talked about developing her material, as well as collaborating with comedy powerhouses, like Bob Odenkirk, David Cross, Paul Thomas Anderson and Amy Sherman-Paladino. And we discussed the literal smell of success. A recent news story where Jamie Foxx revealed that Eddie Murphy's home has the scent of pomegranate pumped into every room, Mary Lynn described the defining scent of her home: "Well, today was my son's last day of school, so I cooked breakfast. So we probably have a nice bacon and dog scent going on here." You can listen to our full interview here, and check out 3 success takeaways below, which have been edited for length and clarity: 1. Success means only leaving the house when you want. "I still do a lot of live comedy. But it means I have to drive out of my house at night, and it's hard. I don't want to leave and be in a place, but then once I do it, it reminds me that I love it, and I'm doing it as a workout. I'm doing it to hear material. A lot of times for local shows, I'm not getting paid. And I am in the position that I get to do that. Success for me now is being able to do it because I love it." 2. Having a "let's see what happens" attitude can serve you well. "Our show, North by North, is filmed in the Canadian Arctic, in the real town of Iqaluit. As you fly there, at a certain point, all the trees disappear and all you see is ice and snow. And that's when the crew of Canadian North Airlines offered me a 'special coffee.' I say, 'Oh, no thank you.' And they said, 'I think you do want a special coffee.' Because they knew that the booze and the sugar would help soften the edges for a Southerner who's not prepared for what's going to happen in this completely different climate extreme. So it seemed like the thing to do, so I figured 'When in Rome...' let's see what happens. And I was glad I did." 3. You'll never know if it works until you try. "There are a lot of little things that happen throughout the day that I think, 'Oh, that'll be funny.' And sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. Sometimes I'll say it on stage and I'm like, oh, that was dumb, or that didn't translate. The second half of writing is always on stage for me. I've got to just say it out loud and figure out, oh, that's trash, or, oh, there's something there, let me work it. Or sometimes if you're lucky, it just comes out the right way the first time." Related: Comedian David Cross on His New Tour, Dealing With Criticism and If 'Arrested Development' Should Come Back Speed round! When she's on the road, she does not want BBQ recommendations: "Especially when I'm traveling alone. I'm like, you think I'm gonna go sit at a loud barbecue and order a beer and a big plate of meat? Who do you think I am?" She was once roommates with Sarah Silverman. "Sarah Silverman was absolutely the better roommate — I was a mess. She was so great, I was lucky that she allowed me to be there." Learning from the greats. " Garry Shandling had such a specific confidence in his humor and how he knew he wanted the world to be. I remember reading the Larry Sanders script and going, 'Oh no, I don't see the jokes. I'm not sure if I'm getting this.' And then when we did the table read and people were reading in character, then it was like, 'Oh, this is my favorite humor ever.' It is so specific to the character that it really doesn't work until you hear them deliver it." Follow Mary Lynn Rajskub on Instagram and subscribe to How Success Happens: Apple | Spotify | YouTube

The rise of the Broadway ‘bro show'
Edward Price wouldn't be mistaken for a Broadway junkie. A straight guy in his 40s, Price splits his time between New York City and the Hudson Valley and rarely shells out money to see shows. But in recent weeks, he's been an unlikely Broadway regular, venturing alone to see two plays: 'Othello,' starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, and 'Glengarry Glen Ross,' starring Bob Odenkirk, Kieran Culkin and Bill Burr.
