Exciting news for fans of action movies as the producing team behind the hits Nobody and Violent Night, David Leitch and Kelly McCormick, have provided an update on the development of the highly anticipated sequels. During a recent interview at SXSW 2024, McCormick shared that progress is well underway for both Nobody 2 and Violent Night 2, with plans for both movies to enter development soon, pending scheduling logistics.
McCormick expressed optimism about the timelines for the sequels, mentioning a potential release towards the end of this year for Nobody 2 and the beginning of next year for Violent Night 2. She highlighted the enthusiasm among the team to further explore the worlds of these action-packed films.
Notably, scripts for both sequels are currently in the works, with multiple drafts already in progress. The first installment of Nobody, released in 2021 and directed by Ilya Naishuller, introduced audiences to the character of Hutch Mansell, portrayed by Bob Odenkirk. The film follows Hutch's transformation from a mild-mannered family man to a vengeful force after a home invasion sets off a chain of violent events.
While specific details about Nobody 2 remain under wraps, it is expected to continue the story from the first film, building on the intense finale that hinted at more challenges ahead for Odenkirk's character.
On the other hand, Violent Night, starring David Harbour as a unique interpretation of Santa Claus, delves into a Christmas Eve confrontation between the festive figure and a group of mercenaries. Director Tommy Wirkola has teased potential elements for the sequel, including the introduction of Mrs. Claus, the North Pole, and Santa's elves, providing an intriguing direction for the franchise.
With the success of the initial installments and the creative vision driving the sequels, fans can anticipate an adrenaline-fueled continuation of the stories in Nobody 2 and Violent Night 2. As the scripts evolve and production gears up, the stage is set for more thrilling action and character-driven narratives in these beloved cinematic universes.
Additionally, David Leitch's upcoming project, The Fall Guy, is slated for release by Universal Pictures on May 3, 2024, adding to the excitement surrounding the filmmaker's diverse portfolio of action-packed films.
