As Netflix gears up for a return to the world of The Old Guard , the streamer has finally unveiled more information about its sequel, including a release date, a behind-the-scenes sneak peek, and some first-look stills. Debuting on 2 July , the film, like the 2020 original, is based on the graphic novel series of the same name written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Leandro Fernandez.
It will continue the story of Andromache of Scythia, aka Andy (played by Oscar winner Charlize Theron) and her team of undying mercenaries, with a renewed 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 jeopardise everything she’s worked towards for thousands of years,” reads the film’s synopsis on Netflix’s Tudum blog . “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.
” Four new still images from The Old Guard 2 were also shared, featuring a battered, axe-wielding Andy, the group in black combat gear and standing together on a dirt road that includes new character Tuah, a shootout, and Copley and Andy walking down a street. Check them all out below: Victoria Mahoney ( Yellow to the Sky ) is directing the sequel , taking over the reins from Gina Prince-Bythewood. It will also star Kill Bill ‘s Uma Thurman and feature a lot more action, with Theron teasing the higher stakes at play: “We’re going to meet some brand-new characters.
Quyhn is back and her story continues, and we’re all excited to have Uma Thurman and Henry Golding join us as two key new players in the Old Guard universe. Andy and her warriors are back with a renewed sense of purpose. The stakes are even higher now that Andy is mortal and can die — but that certainly won’t keep her out of the action.
” The Old Guard 2 is set to hit Netflix on 2 July , with bigger, bolder action in tow.
