Five years ago, Nobody delivered a refreshing take on the R-rated action genre, propelling Odenkirk into an unexpected yet highly convincing lead role. As reported by Screen Rant, the film cast Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell, a seemingly ordinary family man harboring a dangerous past as a government assassin. When a home invasion reignites his dormant skills, Hutch is forced to confront both his past and a powerful Russian gangster, leading to a series of brutally choreographed encounters.

The film's pedigree further solidified its action credentials, with John Wick creator Derek Kolstad penning the screenplay and John Wick co-director David Leitch serving as a producer. Odenkirk, who was in his late 50s during production, underwent extensive training to convincingly portray Hutch, delivering memorable fight sequences, most notably a visceral bus brawl that quickly became a fan favorite. Unlike the graceful efficiency of John Wick, Hutch's fighting style reflects a man who has lost some of his edge, making his struggles and eventual triumphs feel more grounded and impactful.

Following the success of Nobody, a sequel, Nobody 2, was released in 2025. While it offered more of the gritty action and fun performances, it reportedly lacked the original's unique spark, particularly in its set pieces. Nobody 2 also faced challenges at the box office, grossing $43 million against an estimated $25 million budget, as detailed by Box Office Mojo. This performance has cast a shadow of uncertainty over the prospects of a potential Nobody 3, despite Odenkirk's expressed interest and ideas for future installments. The actor has, however, continued his foray into the action genre, starring in the critically better-received 2025 thriller Normal.

For those looking to experience Odenkirk's surprising action debut, or simply to re-watch the high-octane thrill ride, Nobody is currently available on Peacock but will be removed from the service on October 31. After this date, viewers will need to rent or purchase the film digitally, or acquire it on home media, to revisit Hutch Mansell's journey from suburban dad to formidable force.
