When The Old Guard dropped on Netflix, it was like someone handed viewers an immortal elixir of adrenaline and Charlize Theron in tactical gear. The film sliced through the boredom of 2020 like a medieval axe, leaving fans craving more immortality and philosophical brooding between brutal action sequences. The cliffhanger ended with Quynh’s vengeful comeback, which felt less like closure and more like a rude tease. Audiences were practically screaming into the void for the sequel while sharpening their metaphorical battle axes in anticipation.

Luckily, The Old Guard 2 is not only real, it is stacked with a killer cast, an exciting plot, and a confirmed release date.

The Old Guard 2 is officially scheduled to release on July 2, 2025. Netflix greenlit the sequel on January 27, 2021, sending fans into a frenzy of immortal anticipation. Filming began in June 2022 in Italy, including scenes shot at the legendary Cinecittà Studios. However, in August, the set caught fire during dismantling. However, production later resumed in the United Kingdom and wrapped up in September 2022, scarred but standing.

In The Old Guard 2, Andromache of Scythia, also known to mere mortals as Andy, and her band of battle-hardened immortals, return to protect humanity from yet another existential crisis. This time, the group faces a formidable antagonist who poses a threat to the very fabric of the immortal order. As if that were not enough, an ancient ally presumed to be lost forever resurfaces, bringing emotional baggage and unresolved grudges. The sequel continues the saga based on Greg Rucka's comic book The Old Guard.

Between globe-hopping chaos, philosophical sword fights, and a storyline that questions the cost of eternal life, the sequel promises more action and existential dread than ever. With upgraded threats and more moral dilemmas than a university ethics final, this installment appears ready to outdo its predecessor in both spectacle and soul. Thankfully, the ensemble is so ridiculously talented that it may be the only group capable of making this wildly layered plot work flawlessly.

The Old Guard 2 welcomes back the core ensemble of immortal heavy-hitters, including the return of Charlize Theron, KiKi Layne, Marwan Kenzari, Matthias Schoenaerts, Luca Marinelli, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. These timeless warriors are joined by fresh faces who bring new chaos to the battlefield, with Henry Golding and Uma Thurman stepping into the fray. In an amusing twist of fate, Theron once backed Thurman for the Oscar she never received, for a Quentin Tarantino film, you can guess which film.

With veteran power, fresh faces, and centuries of unresolved tension, the cast treats immortality like it is Tuesday. Uma Thurman blends in as if she has been swinging axes through existential crises since the Bronze Age. Packed with drama, flashbacks, and dry wit, this wildly overqualified ensemble makes eternal angst look effortless, and surprisingly entertaining.
