The latest sneak peek showcases Charlize Theron’s Andy in an epic showdown against none other than Uma Thurman, sparking a thrilling sword fight that viewers won’t want to miss!
Drawing inspiration from the graphic novel series by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernández, the original The Old Guard captivated audiences with its narrative of a secretive group of mercenaries who possess an extraordinary ability to live forever. Under the adept direction of Gina Prince-Bythewood, the film explored their centuries-old mission to safeguard humanity. However, their extraordinary skills get unexpectedly exposed during a critical operation, compelling Andy and the newest recruit, Nile, to combat those who would exploit their unique powers for personal gain.
The brilliant Greg Rucka is back to craft the script alongside Sarah L. Walker while also taking on the role of executive producer. The powerhouse production team includes David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger from Skydance, as well as Theron, Beth Kono, AJ Dix of Denver and Delilah, and Marc Evans. While Prince-Bythewood continues her involvement as a producer, the directorial baton has been passed to Victoria Mahoney, known for her work on acclaimed series like You and Lovecraft Country, as well as her role in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Theron will be joined by a stellar cast, with returning favorites KiKi Layne, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Luca Marinelli, Matthias Schoenaerts, Marwan Kenzari, and Veronica Ngo, along with exciting new faces like Uma Thurman and Henry Golding. The film promises a gripping plot: Andy and her relentless squad of immortal warriors are back to confront a dangerous new adversary threatening their very existence. Here’s a thrilling look at the storyline: As Andy (Charlize Theron) leads her immortal team with renewed zeal, they face an emerging danger that could unravel their centuries of dedication. With Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) still in self-imposed exile and Quynh (Veronica Ngô) seeking revenge after her narrow escape from captivity, Andy grapples with her newfound humanity while enlisting help from old friend Tuah (Henry Golding), who may hold the secrets to their boundless existence. Together they’ll confront a foe that could threaten everything they’ve fought for. This sequel, directed by Victoria Mahoney and featuring the iconic Uma Thurman, is set to be an emotional rollercoaster brimming with action, based on the fascinating universe conceived by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernández.
