Nobody 2 & Violent Night 2 Get Exciting Updates From Producers

Nobody and Violent Night producing team David Leitch and Kelly McCormick have offered an update on the development of the two action movie hits, with Nobody 2 “potentially” happening this year followed by Violent Night 2 in 2025. Speaking with Collider at SXSW 2024, McCormick revealed that a lot of progress is now being made behind the scenes on both sequels, saying that both movies will be going into development soon…so long as they can “find time in everybody’s busy schedules.”

“We are planning on returns to those universes. Hopefully, honestly, even potentially end of this year for Nobody 2 and, beginning of next year for Violent Night 2, if we can find time in everybody’s busy schedules. But the development’s going super well and everybody’s really, really excited about moving those worlds forward.”

David Leitch, who is best known for directing the likes of Deadpool 2, Bullet Train, and this year’s The Fall Guy, added that Nobody lead Bob Odenkirk and Violent Night Santa himself David Harbour are both “fired up” to get started on their respective sequels.

McCormick also revealed that scripts for the two action follow-ups are now being written.

“[Scrips are] being written. We’re well into a couple of drafts and things are going super well, but there’s still a little work to do.”

What Will Nobody 2 & Violent Night 2 Be About?

Directed by Ilya Naishuller and written by John Wick’s Derek Kolstad, the first Nobody was released in 2021 and finds Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk as the seemingly mild-mannered Hutch Mansell. Hutch begins the movie as an underestimated and overlooked dad and husband, and when two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch declines to defend himself or his family. But really, the incident reawakens something in Hutch, a long-simmering rage, and propels him on a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills.

Details of Nobody 2 remain unknown at present, but the sequel is likely to pick up following the final moments of the first outing, during which Odenkirk’s assassin is told that more trouble is on the way.

Violent Night, meanwhile, finds Stranger Things star David Harbour taking the lead as Santa who, after a team of mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound on Christmas Eve, takes matters into his own hands and shows why this Nick is no saint.

Violent Night director Tommy Wirkola has teased what we might see in the sequel, including the elves and Mrs. Claus.

“But, of course the writers have talked about it, and I have thrown some ideas out there. We don’t see the North Pole, we don’t see Mrs. Claus and we don’t see the elves. There were also a few ideas that we loved in the script, but we had to cut them because we couldn’t afford to shoot them. It’s such a cliché to say, but we all had a blast doing this film. So I really hope we get to explore it more.”
