What’s Going On With The Old Guard 2? How Reshoots Are Factoring Into Its Delay

As a die-hard fan of The Old Guard series who has been eagerly waiting for the sequel since 2020, I can’t help but feel like I’ve joined a secret immortal squad myself – one that’s stuck in an endless cycle of anticipation and patience. It’s been four years since we first saw Charlize Theron kick some serious immortal butt, and now it seems like we’re in for another round of reshoots!


It’s been quite a wait for fans of “The Old Guard” as the sequel was swiftly announced following its Netflix debut, given its popularity. However, it’s now been four years since the initial movie release and two years since filming on the follow-up wrapped, leaving us wondering about the current status of “The Old Guard 2“.

It’s interesting to note that Netflix seemed to have plans for “The Old Guard” as a series even before the initial movie was out, which makes the long wait for the sequel seem quite unexpected. Recently, Charlize Theron revealed that filming for “The Old Guard 2” took place in 2022, but she attributed the delay to changes within Netflix and post-production issues. However, it appears there might be more to the story.

Reshoots Are Coming For The Old Guard 2 

According to What’s On Netflix, the rescheduling of reshoots for “The Old Guard 2” in Vancouver next month implies that the film may not be finished until several more months have passed. Although it’s possible that post-production is almost done on the current version of the movie, additional work will likely be required following the completion of the reshoots.

It’s not clear when the reshoots are taking place or what exactly they involve, but since they’re happening so close to release, it might suggest that the film is experiencing substantial revisions because the original storylines or characters may not be as effective as intended.

Alternatively, it could be that these projects are straightforward acquisitions, and the delay in post-processing as mentioned by Charlize Theron merely meant it took this long to determine which extra footage was necessary.

When We Could Finally See The Old Guard 2 

As a devoted fan, I’ve often felt apprehensive when hearing about reshoots in movies, as they sometimes give the impression that there may be issues with the film that require adjustments. However, given that the reshoots for The Old Guard 2 are said to last only around 10 days, it seems less likely that significant changes are being made. If major alterations were necessary, I’d expect a longer period of time to accommodate those changes.

As of now, there’s no specific date announced for “The Old Guard 2” by Netflix. This implies that, technically speaking, the film hasn’t been delayed. Since the first movie was released in July 2020, we might anticipate a similar summer release for the sequel if it were a theatrical production. So, it’s reasonable to expect “The Old Guard 2” around summer 2025 for Netflix subscribers. However, if reshoots aren’t extensive, there’s a chance the movie could be ready by early 2025.
