Netflix unveiled the official first trailer for The Old Guard 2 on Thursday which you can view below. Victoria Mahoney takes the helm from Gina Prince-Bythewood who directed the inaugural 2020 hit action flick inspired by Greg Rucka’s series of graphic novels.
Andy (Charlize Theron) and her team of immortal warriors are back, with a renewed sense of purpose in their mission to protect the world. With Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) still in exile after his betrayal, and Quynh (Veronica Ngô) out for revenge after escaping her underwater prison, Andy grapples with her newfound mortality as a mysterious threat emerges that could jeopardize everything she’s worked towards for thousands of years. Andy, Nile (KiKi Layne), Joe (Marwan Kenzari), Nicky (Luca Marinelli) and James Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) enlist the help of Tuah (Henry Golding), an old friend who may provide the key to unlocking the mystery behind immortal existence. Directed by Victoria Mahoney, and also starring Uma Thurman, The Old Guard 2 is an emotional, adrenaline-pumping sequel, based on the world created by Greg Rucka and illustrator Leandro Fernandez.
It’s about time this film arrived too, considering how lengthy production was. At any rate, Theron is back, and her co-star hailing from 2003’s Kill Bill is out here swinging swords again, and we also have Veronica Ngo doing what she does best on this genre front so, fun times!
July 2 is the date, kids. Mark it.
