Bob Odenkirk’s Hilarious and Brutal Take on Which Childhood Icons He’d Fight — and Who’s Off Limits

At San Diego Comic-Con, Bob Odenkirk sat down with IGN to talk about his upcoming movie Nobody 2. During their chat, he shared some pretty wild and funny thoughts about which childhood TV and movie characters he would want to fight, and who he wouldn’t dare touch.

Odenkirk didn’t hold back. About The Brady Bunch, he said, “I would happily kill them, they don’t even have to do anything. Not the littlest girl I wouldn’t hurt, it’s not her fault she’s a Brady.” So, the youngest Brady is off limits, but the rest?

Not so much. Then he went after Alvin and the Chipmunks, saying he’d “step on them and crush them under my foot. You have to hear the bones and the gush inside their body, you’re gonna cheer.” That’s a pretty brutal mental image.

When it came to Home Alone, Odenkirk gave a shout-out to Macaulay Culkin’s character Kevin. He made it clear he wouldn’t go after Kevin because, “He’s going to take me down!” But for the villainous Wet Bandit, Mario, things were different.

Odenkirk joked, “I’ll kill Mario, I’ll tear that mustache off his face, jam it down his throat, take those goggles rip him to pieces and stab him with those. It’s gonna be bloody.”

Aside from this funny talk, Nobody 2 is generating a lot of excitement. The movie is an action thriller directed by Timo Tjahjanto, written by Derek Kolstad and Aaron Rabin, and it’s the sequel to Nobody from 2021.

Bob Odenkirk returns as Hutch Mansell, a former government assassin, alongside familiar faces like Connie Nielsen, RZA, Michael Ironside, Colin Salmon, and Christopher Lloyd. New stars like Colin Hanks, John Ortiz, and Sharon Stone also join the cast.

The story continues to follow Hutch Mansell, with lots of new twists and dangerous characters. The film is set to hit theaters in North America on August 15, 2025.

This fun and honest conversation with Bob Odenkirk gave fans a glimpse into his playful side while promoting a highly anticipated sequel. It’s clear that while he’s ready to throw down on screen, he’s got a soft spot for some of those childhood favorites, especially Kevin from Home Alone.
