Alongside Bob Odenkirk, the actor and philanthropist will be starring in Nobody 2, Universal’s follow-up to the 2021 unexpected blockbuster, which is being produced by 87North. Odenkirk is playing the same sweet-natured family father who was once a government executioner in covert. It’s also known that Stone will be the main antagonist of the work, even if no narrative specifics are being disclosed.
The movie will be directed by Indonesian filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto, who is well-known for his thriller and action films, including May the Devil Take You and parts of the V/H/S series. Derek Kolstad, Aaron Rabin, Odenkirk, and Umair Aleem wrote the screenplay.
The production duo behind the first film is back on the call sheet. Odenkirk joins production team Kelly McCormick and David Leitch, who are located at Universal and produce through 87North. Braden Aftergood through Eighty Two Films and Marc Provissiero (No Hard Feelings) via Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment are also producing.
Universal has scheduled Nobody 2’s theatrical debut for August 15, 2025. With a $16 million budget, the first film came out during the epidemic and went on to earn nearly $57.5 million worldwide. Even the critics were impressed. “A wish-fulfilment romp just as ludicrous as any of them but more fun than most,” was how The Hollywood Reporter described it.
Stone is renowned for her boundary-pushing breakthrough in the sensual thriller Basic Instinct. She then received an Oscar nod for her performance in Casino alongside Robert de Niro and Joe Pesci. She has focused more on television work lately, including appearances on HBO’s The New Pope and Netflix’s Ratched, both directed by Paolo Sorentino. She has been recognized for her charitable contributions with several awards, including the Einstein Spirit of Achievement Award, the Human Rights Campaign Humanitarian Award, the Nobel Peace Summit Award, the United Nations Global Citizen Award, and the Harvard Humanitarian Award. She recently got the Taormina Film Festival’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
