When is Old Guard 2 Releasing?
There is confirmation about the comeback of Old Guard 2. However, the creators and Netflix have not shed any light on the eventual release date of the movie.
The first movie’s success in July 2020 suggested a 2023 release for the sequel, but that didn’t materialize. However, there’s hope. Filming wrapped in September 2022, and considering it’s almost a year and a half later, the movie is likely in the final stages of post-production.
Additionally, Netflix sometimes announces further movies throughout the year. With “The Old Guard” being a hit, it might be a late 2024 contender, but that’s speculation. While you are waiting for the eventual release of the second instalment of the movie, go and catch up with the first one.
What can we expect from Old Guard 2?
Details about the plot are scarce, but here’s what we can glean from interviews and the first film’s ending. Andy (Charlize Theron) and her team of immortal warriors, Nile (Kiki Layne), Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts), Joe (Marwan Kenzari), and Nicky (Luca Marinelli), will continue their fight for humanity.
This time, they’ll face a formidable new threat that could potentially challenge the very existence of the Old Guard. The first movie hinted at the emergence of new immortals. This new threat could be one such immortal, perhaps someone with a different take on their immortality, leading to a conflict within the group.
Additionally, the ending of the first film teased the return of a long-lost immortal, potentially an old friend or foe of Andy’s. This character’s motives and connection to the new threat could be a central plot point. Beyond the immediate conflict, the sequel might explore the emotional toll of immortality further.
The first movie touched on the burden of watching loved ones age and die, while the characters themselves remain unchanged. We might see this internal struggle resurface, especially if the new threat forces the Old Guard to confront their past or make difficult choices that impact their humanity. It would be interesting to see where things pick up for the sequel.
Who is returning on Old Guard 2?
At this point, the fans are pretty much convinced that the movie will return with all the popular cast that appeared in the first part. This would include:
- Charlize Theron as Andy
- Kiki Layne as Nile
- Matthias Schoenaerts as Booker
- Marwan Kenzari as Joe
- Luca Marinelli as Nicky
