The Old Guard 2: What’s Delaying the Highly Anticipated Sequel?

Is there news about Old Guard 2? Actually, it’s quite intricate. When The Old Guard was first released, it garnered an impressive 72 million views within its first month and boasted a strong 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

So here’s what we currently know and some speculations about the sequel once it eventually arrives.
