Odenkirk’s New Action Flick Feels Like a Better Call Saul Spin‑Off
United States, USAFri Mar 13 2026
Bob Odenkirk’s latest film, Nobody 2, drops on Netflix this month alongside the original 2021 movie and his famous TV series Better Call Saul. The action‑packed sequel, which has earned comparisons to John Wick, follows a former government operative named Hutch Mansell. Hutch’s personality mirrors that of Saul Goodman in surprising ways, showing that Odenkirk can play darker characters with the same skill he used for Jimmy McGill.
The film’s release on March 14, 2026 brings it to U. S. audiences and many other regions. While the first movie did not dominate box‑office charts, it is expected to attract viewers on streaming just as strongly, thanks in part to Odenkirk’s strong fan base. The cast returns with Connie Nielsen, Christopher Lloyd, RZA, and Colin Salmon, while new additions include Sharon Stone, John Ortiz, and Colin Hanks. Derek Kolstad and Aaron Rabin penned the screenplay.
Nobody 2 is more than a sequel; it also acts as a companion to Better Call Saul. Odenkirk has said he is ready to move past the Saul role, yet his portrayal of Hutch echoes Jimmy McGill’s journey. Fans who enjoy slick legal maneuvers and gritty crime settings will find the film engaging, as will those who followed Jimmy’s relationship with Kim Wexler. Hutch’s partner Becca Mansell serves a similar supportive role to Kim in the original series.
At first glance, Hutch and Saul appear different: one is a calm former assassin, the other a fast‑talking lawyer. Yet both characters thrive among violent criminals and hide their darker sides behind everyday façades. In Nobody 2, Hutch undergoes a transformation similar to Jimmy’s, finally embracing his own shadow side.
Overall, the new movie offers action fans a fresh story while reminding viewers of Odenkirk’s versatility. It connects the world of crime‑driven drama to the legal intrigue that made Better Call Saul popular, providing a satisfying crossover for long‑time followers.
