The Old Guard 2: Charlize Therone Is Back And Things Are Going to Get Wild
Netflix has officially green‑lit a sequel to the hit action‑thriller The Old Guard, and fans can breathe easy because Charlize Theron is re‑taking her role as the sharp‑witted mercenary Andy.
Direction Shifts, But Talent Stays
Victoria Mahoney – who flew the second‑unit craft for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker – will helm the new film. While Gina Prince-Bythewood stepped away from directing to focus on fresh projects, she’ll still anchor the budget as a producer.
Back to the Action-Packed Crew
Everything else is staying the same. KiKi Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, Veronica Ngo and Chiwetel Ejiofor are all back on board to re‑alive their iconic characters.
Mahoney’s Excitement Is Hard‑to‑Describe
She shared her feelings, saying:
- “The old film was a masterpiece, crafted with so much talent and skill.”
- “I’ve probably watched it a hundred times. If someone had to explain how excited I am, they’d need a dictionary.”
- “It’s an honor to be part of this journey with these fierce badasses.”
- “We’re looking to push the action genre to new heights for thrill‑seeking audiences.”
Release Date? Still on the Clouds
Netflix hasn’t announced a premiere date yet, but production is moving forward at a rapid pace. Keep your eyes peeled: the blockbuster is expected to hit the streaming grid sometime later this year.
Note: For fans craving more news, keep an eye out for the upcoming “Ben Affleck and Matt Damon” period drama and the “Benedict Cumberbatch sibling feud” story. Both are slated to be big contenders at the next awards season.
