If you like action and martial arts movies, I bring very, very good news, because the universes of two of the best feature films that the recent genre has given us are going to collide in a sequel that, from now on, becomes one of the most anticipated premieres of the 2025 film course. Be careful, because things couldn’t look better.

The feature film that has just received the green light is definitely none other than ‘Nobody 2’, the continuation of the bombshell directed by Ilya Naishuller —’Hardcore Henry’—, starring Bob Odenkirk and written by a Derek Kolstad more than familiar with this type of production after giving birth to the ‘John Wick’ saga.
While Odenkirk and Kolstad will return to play the protagonist and sign the script respectively, the director’s seat will be occupied by a new filmmaker to replace the Russian, and The name of the new manager could not be more promising: Timo Tjahjanto. If it doesn’t tell you anything on its own, let me refresh your memory so it can raise your mind. hype at full speed.
Tjahjanto, a native of Indonesia, is the director of ‘Safe Haven’, the best short film that the ‘V/H/S’ anthology saga has given us, the two recommendable parts of ‘May the devil take you’in which he offered two of the most intense horror experiences and, what is more important, ‘The Night Comes for Us’, a true savagery in which the spirit of ‘The Raid’ is fused with excessive doses of ultraviolence in a show as intense as it is insane.
In addition, under the name of the Mo Brothers, the filmmaker has co-directed with Kimo Stamboel actioners such as ‘Headshot’ – also aligned with ‘The Raid’ – and ‘Killers’, and horror films such as ‘Macabre’. Without a doubt, good Timo’s letter of introduction could not be better, and he already raises expectations towards a ‘Nobody 2’ that It will hit movie theaters, at least in the United States, on August 15, 2025..
The filming will start this summer under the wing of Universal Pictures. We will be aware of any news in this regard.
