Thescreescore – Netflix has dropped the explosive trailer for The Old Guard 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2020 hit. Based on Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez’s graphic novel, and directed by Victoria Mahoney, the film reunites Charlize Theron as Andy and her team of immortal warriors. But this time, they face a threat unlike any before: Oscar-winner Uma Thurman, making her debut as a centuries-old immortal with a bone to pick—and a katana to wield.
The trailer wastes no time in showcasing the epic clash between Thurman’s villainous immortal and Theron’s Andy. A centuries-old betrayal fuels a breathtaking sword fight, echoing the iconic battles of Kill Bill, a clear nod to Thurman’s past cinematic glory. This isn’t just a physical confrontation; Thurman’s character wields a power that delves into the past, accessing memories and manipulating history itself. The stakes are higher than ever, promising a thrilling blend of action and emotional depth.
Returning alongside Theron are KiKi Layne, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, reprising their roles as Nile, Joe, Nicky, and James Copley respectively. They’re joined by Henry Golding as Tuah, a new ally who helps unravel the mysteries surrounding their immortal existence. Even Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts), exiled after his betrayal in the first film, is hinted at returning, adding another layer of complexity to the already explosive narrative. Veronica Ngo also returns as Quynh, freed from her watery prison.
