A new action movie with heavy ties to theJohn Wickfranchise is performing well on Rotten Tomatoes. TheJohn Wickmoviesstar Keanu Reeves in the title role as a retired assassin whose revenge mission after the murder of his dog takes him on a violent and grandiose adventure.
The franchise has so far lasted for four movies with various feature-length and episodic spinoffs.John WickDirector David Leitch also co-founded the company 87North productions(with Kelly McCormick), which largely focuses on ushering otherWick-esque productions to the screen.
The 87North roster includes the Christmas action-comedyViolent Night, the Brad Pitt actionerBullet Train, the Mary Elizabeth Winstead-led Netflix movieKate, the stunt-heavy Ryan Gosling movieThe Fall Guy, and a new movie that has just earned a solid Rotten Tomatoes score.
Nobody 2 Has Won Over Critics
Nobody 2has established a Rotten Tomatoes streak for the franchise. The 87North movie is a sequel to 2021’sNobody, which starredBob Odenkirk as seemingly unassuming businessman Hutch Mansell, who finds himself drawing upon his past as an assassin when he is dragged into aJohn Wick-style action adventure.
The sequel, which takes place years after theending ofNobodyand seesHutch trying to keep his family vacation afloat while tangling with a local crime boss, was directed by Timo Tjahjanto and features returning co-stars Connie Nielsen, RZA, Christopher Lloyd, Gage Munroe, and Paisley Cadorath, alongside newcomers including John Ortiz, Colin Hanks, and Sharon Stone.
Rotten Tomatoeshas now aggregated enough reviews to giveNobody 2an official Tomatometer score. While the score could fluctuate as more reviews are added, at the time of writing, 126 reviews have been tabulated to give the moviea solidly Fresh score of 78%. Additionally,Nobody 2has enough reviews to be officially Certified Fresh on the platform.
What This Means For Nobody 2
By earning a Certified Fresh score,2025’sNobody 2has continued a Rotten Tomatoes hot streak for the franchise.The original movie previously earned a Certified Fresh 84% Tomatometer scoreand a Verified Hot 94% audience score on the Popcornmeter.
While it remains to be seen if audiences love the new movie enough for it to be Verified Hot as well, it so far has92% on the Popcornmeter thanks to more than 250 verified ratings, so if it maintains that level of approval as more user reviews are added, it will be Verified Hot before long.
This franchise hot streak is a good sign for 87North, becauseNobody 2is the first non-John Wicksequel that they have produced. As they continue to establish other franchises with other sequels like theupcomingViolent Night 2, if they continue to have this level of critical approval, they could have quite a fewWick-style successes on their hands.
