Trailer and Promotion
  • A teaser trailer debuted at CinemaCon 2025 (April 2025), not yet publicly available, featuring action-packed scenes like Hutch fighting in an elevator and at an amusement park.
  • The first official trailer dropped in May 2025, praised as a standout, blending National Lampoon’s Vacation humor with John Wick-style action.
  • An exclusive image from ScreenRant shows a bloodied Hutch in an elevator after a brawl, hinting at the film’s intense action.
Tone and Style
  • The film maintains the original’s balance of embracing and satirizing action tropes, with a focus on Hutch as a family man. It promises escalated action, including brutal fight sequences, while exploring family tensions and Hutch and Becca’s backstory.
  • Comparisons to John Wick persist due to Kolstad’s involvement and the one-man-army subgenre, but Nobody 2 emphasizes Hutch’s everyman persona.
Reception Expectations
  • The first Nobody was a sleeper hit, grossing $57.5 million on a $16 million budget and earning an 84% critic score and 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
  • Nobody 2 is anticipated to be a summer blockbuster, with no major competing releases on its opening weekend.
Additional Notes
  • Crossover Potential: A John Wick crossover has been discussed but deemed unlikely due to different studios (Universal for Nobody, Lionsgate for John Wick). Any crossover would likely be subtle, like an Easter egg.web:2manifesting
  • Box Office Context: The first film’s box office was impacted by the post-COVID market, but Nobody 2 is positioned for stronger theatrical performance
