“Better Call Saul” star Bob Odenkirk plays an unassuming suburban dad who breaks bad — very bad — in the new thriller “Nobody,” which Universal teased during the Super Bowl with a 30-second spot.
Odenkirk’s transformation is triggered when two thieves break into his suburban home one night and he declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son, Blake (Gage Munroe), is disappointed in him and his wife, Becca (Connie Nielsen), seems to pull only further away.
Harboring long-simmering rage, he soon pursues a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills as he takes on a villain to counter his image as a “nobody.”
The film also stars Christopher Lloyd and musician-actor RZA, whose own hidden talents aid Odenkirk’s Hutch in his quest for vengeance.

Bob Odenkirk’s latest film “Nobody” puts him into full John Wick action hero and badass mode, and in the first look Red Band trailer for the film, he’s not f—ing around.
Odenkirk plays Hutch Mansell in the film directed by “Hardcore Henry’s” Ilya Naishuller and written by “John Wick” scribe Derek Kolstad, and we see him hesitate to defend himself and his family after two thieves break into his home. What looks like a case of cold feet and cowardice turns out to be Odenkirk holding back, as he’s got a secret past as a killer known as “an auditor,” or the last person you would want to deal with.
Now though he’s just trying to air his grievances on all the people who think he’s a pushover and are willing to steal his daughter’s favorite possession.

Universal Pictures has postponed “Nobody,” an action thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, from Aug. 14, 2020, to Feb. 26, 2021. It’s the latest summer movie to vacate its release date as theaters remain closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Every major studio has postponed at least part of its summer movie slate— a group that includes Disney’s “Jungle Cruise,” Sony’s “Morbius” and “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” Warner Bros.’ “Wonder Woman 1984” and “In the Heights,” Paramount’s “Top Gun: Maverick” and Universal’s “F9.” The moves are a strong signal that studios do not expect theaters to begin normal operations for several more months due to the pandemic.
Universal also announced Tuesday that an untitled M. Night Shyamalan film had been pulled off the calendar from its original date of Feb. 26, 2021.

New Line Cinema’s action comedy “Shaft” is the next chapter in the film franchise featuring the coolest private eye on any New York City block. Tim Story (the “Ride Along” and “Think Like a Man” franchises) directs this all-new take on a legend, starring Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson, Jessie T. Usher, Regina Hall, Alexandra Shipp, Matt Lauria, Titus Welliver, Cliff “Method Man” Smith, and Richard Roundtree, the original John Shaft.
Jj, aka John Shaft Jr. (Usher), may be a cyber security expert with a degree from MIT, but to uncover the truth behind his best friend’s untimely death, he needs an education only his dad can provide. Absent throughout Jj’s youth, the legendary locked-and-loaded John Shaft (Jackson) agrees to help his progeny navigate Harlem’s heroin-infested underbelly. And while Jj’s own FBI analyst’s badge may clash with his dad’s trademark leather duster, there’s no denying family.
