Netflix Action Movie The Old Guard 2 Finally Gets Promising Update

by

As a cinephile who has spent countless hours delving into the vast realms of action and comic book adaptations, I have eagerly awaited the arrival of The Old Guard 2 with bated breath. My love for this genre was ignited by the raw energy and exhilarating action sequences of classics like Die Hard and The Matrix, and since then, I’ve been hooked on anything that promises high-octane entertainment.

Even though “The Old Guard” debuted in 2020 and a sequel was announced soon after, fans are still eagerly awaiting the release of this action movie. Fortunately, one of the returning actors, Luca Marinelli, who portrayed immortal warrior Nicky (also known as Nicolò di Genova) in the first installment, has provided an encouraging update on the upcoming comic book film sequel, describing it as “really cool.

The graphic novel penned by Greg Rucka, titled “The Old Guard“, centers around a unique band of mercenaries. Unlike ordinary groups, these individuals are actually immortal beings who have been alive for centuries and possess self-healing abilities. In the initial film, the team uncovers that their secret is being exposed, compelling them to battle in order to safeguard their liberty. The production garnered significant acclaim on the streaming platform, receiving 80% approval on Rotten Tomatoes and captivating 72 million households within its first month of release.

Enthusiasts of this up-and-coming action series have had to show restraint, yet Luca Marinelli guarantees viewers that their patience will pay off. In a recent conversation with Collider, he expressed his thoughts on the sequel, suggesting it would be a rewarding wait.

I’m genuinely excited to catch a glimpse of it and watch it unfold. Frankly, it looks amazing! My anticipation is high as an audience member.

Why Is The Old Guard 2 Taking So Long?

Title The Old Guard 2 is slated for director Victoria Mahoney, penned by Greg Rucka’s script. In this sequel, Charlize Theron will once again embody the main character Andy, with KiKi Layne, Luca Marinelli, Veronica Ngo, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Marwan Kenzari set to reprise their roles as immortal characters. Kill Bill‘s Uma Thurman and Snake Eyes‘ Henry Golding have joined the cast for unspecified roles in this upcoming action-packed installment.

The specifics of the plot are yet undisclosed, but since it’s a sequel to a comic book movie, we can look to the original source material for hints. It appears that The Old Guard 2 may be adapted from the second volume of the comic series, titled “The Old Guard Book Two: Force Multiplied.” For an idea of what this could mean for the film, you can read the synopsis (and speculate on its potential implications) below.

If you’ve fought battles as extensively as Andy and her team, your hands have undoubtedly seen more than their fair share of blood. Now, it’s time to face the consequences of past actions. However, Nile finds it difficult to find harmony within the group once more. In an unexpected turn of events, someone from Andy’s past reappears to question not only her beliefs but also the resolve to fight for which the team stands.

Theron recently shared some insights as to why “The Old Guard 2” has been delayed, disclosing that it’s primarily because of a leadership shift at Netflix. To reassure fans, Theron emphasized that the action sequel will be arriving “soon,” and she personally “can’t wait” for its release.
