Based on the comic book series “The Old Guard,” penned by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Leandro Fernandez, this story centers around four immortal characters – Andromache of Scythia (Andy), Booker, Joe, and Nicky. Throughout history, they have survived by working as mercenaries in the present day. However, their lives are disrupted when they accept a mission from James Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a CIA agent, which leads them to the Sudan for a rescue operation. Unfortunately, it’s later revealed that Copley is not who he seems and intends to exploit the immortals’ unique healing abilities for his personal advantage, forcing the team to evade him as they protect their newest member, Nile Freeman (KiKi Layne).

“The Old Guard,” a movie that garnered significant critical acclaim, received a fresh certification on Rotten Tomatoes with an impressive 80% approval rating. The audience response was equally enthusiastic, as demonstrated by the film’s strong performance on Netflix.

The Old Guard 2 will see Andy grapple with her mortality

However, a new danger emerges in the form of an intriguing enigma. With this being the most significant peril they’ve ever faced during their extended lifetimes, the group seeks assistance from Tuah (Henry Golding), who might be the only one who understands the reason for Andy and the team’s unique form of immortality – a blessing and a curse.
