Bob Odenkirk is ready to become an action hero with Nobody, a new shoot-em-up by the writer Derek Kolstad, creator of John Wick Series. In the film, Odenkirk plays Hutch Mansell, a seemingly ordinary guy who actually has a violent past. When thieves break into Hutch’s house and terrorize his family, his instincts to kick his ass appear. A new Nobody The Super Bowl teaser just dropped and you can watch it below.

Bob Odenkirk gained prominence for his comic skills, especially when he served as co-host of the HBO sketch series Mister show. But in recent years, Odenkirk has proven himself to be a great dramatic actor, mainly through his fantastic work on You better call Saul. Now, Odenkirk is ready to try something new: action star. The actor can kick some ass and kill some bad guys in Nobody, a film by the director Ilya Naishuller (Henry Hardcore) and writer Derek Kolstad (John Wick)
Here’s a synopsis:
Bob Odenkirk (You better call Saul, The Post, Nebraska) star like Hutch Mansell, an underestimated and forgotten father and husband, who takes life’s indignities in the face and never back down. A nobody. When two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch refuses to defend himself or his family, in the hope of preventing serious violence. Her teenage son, Blake (Gage Munroe, The Shack), is disappointed in him and his wife, Becca (Connie Nielsen, Wonder Woman), seems to move further away. The aftermath of the incident matches Hutch’s latent anger, unleashing dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will bring out dark secrets and lethal abilities. In a flurry of fists, shots and tires singing, Hutch must save his family from a dangerous opponent (famous Russian actor Alexey Serebryakov, Amazon’s McMafia) —And make sure he will never be underestimated as a nobody again.
I’m sure some people will scoff at the idea of Odenkirk in an action movie, but I’m betting on that. That said, I would like the premise to be a little more original – the “violent guy who gets violent again when his past catches up with him” has been used in several films, most notably David Cronenberg A History of Violence. Still, while this may not be the most innovative of films, it looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun. Besides that: Christopher Lloyd is part of the cast! He plays Odenkirk’s father.
Nobody arrives in cinemas only, as this teaser emphasizes) in April 2nd.
