Here’s the official synopsis:
Emmy winner Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul, The Post, Nebraska) stars as Hutch Mansell, an underestimated and overlooked dad and husband, taking life’s indignities on the chin and never pushing back. A nobody. When two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son, Blake (Gage Munroe, The Shack), is disappointed in him and his wife, Becca (Connie Nielsen, Wonder Woman), seems to pull only further away. The aftermath of the incident strikes a match to Hutch’s long-simmering rage, triggering dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills. In a barrage of fists, gunfire, and squealing tires, Hutch must save his family from a dangerous adversary (famed Russian actor Alexey Serebryakov, Amazon’s McMafia)—and ensure that he will never be underestimated as a nobody again.

“Nobody” is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ilya Naishuller (“Hardcore Henry“), written by Derek Kolstad, the narrative architect of the “John Wick” franchise. The film co-stars legendary Emmy winner Christopher Lloyd as Hutch’s father and multi-hyphenate musician-actor RZA as Hutch’s brother, whose own hidden talents aid Hutch in his quest for vengeance.
Kelly McCormick, and David Leitch, the filmmakers behind, “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw,” “Deadpool 2” and “Atomic Blonde,” are the masterminds, so you know “Nobody” will have some of that kinetic, fast-action energy. Even though most films are pushing deeper into the summer, “Nobody” is set for an April 2 theatrical date. Watch the new trailer below.
