The Old Guard 2: New Photos from Netflix Action Sequel
Get ready for some exciting news for fans of The Old Guard! Netflix has just released four exclusive new photos from The Old Guard 2, the action-packed sequel to the 2020 original based on the graphic novel series by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez.
In this highly-anticipated follow-up, we see Oscar winner Charlize Theron return as Andromache of Scythia, also known as Andy, the fearless leader of a group of immortal mercenaries. But this time around, things are even more intense for Andy and her team as they face a grave threat that puts Andy’s mortality at risk. In a recent email interview, Theron shared that “the stakes have never been higher” for the group.
The first film brought some major changes to the group dynamics: Andy lost her immortality, Nile (played by KiKi Layne) gained it, and Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) was left on his own. As a result, Andy’s leadership style has evolved, focusing on maximizing the time she has left to make a positive impact.
Theron, who also serves as a producer on the film, promises that the action sequences in The Old Guard 2 are top-notch. With Nile fully integrated into the team, they are a force to be reckoned with, facing both old allies and new enemies. As Andy confronts her past in a way we haven’t seen before, she must grapple with what it means for her future.
The star-studded cast includes returning actors Chiwetel Ejiofor, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, and Veronica Ngô, as well as new additions like Uma Thurman and Henry Golding. Directed by Victoria Mahoney and with a screenplay by Greg Rucka and Sarah L. Walker, The Old Guard 2 is set to premiere on Netflix on July 2, 2025. Don’t miss out on this thrilling sequel that promises to take the action to the next level!
