Netflix gave us one of its best original movies with The Old Guard, and it was just a matter of time before they announced its follow-up. The critically acclaimed superhero film is officially getting a sequel, and here’s everything we know about it so far.
New Director
Gina Prince-Bythewood was in charge of directing The Old Guard, but she won’t be back for the sequel. Victoria Mahoney will sit in the director’s chair the second time around, and she said she was “blown backward by the collective levels of talent, skill, and savvy” that went into the making of the first movie.
The Cast Returns
The Old Guard wouldn’t work if it wasn’t for its amazing cast, and it seems they’ll all be back for the sequel. According to Deadline, Charlize Theron, KiKi Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, Veronica Ngo, and Chiwetel Ejiofor are all set to reprise their roles.
Plot Details
Plot details are still being kept under wraps, but there’s a lot of room left for exploration. The Old Guard centers on a team of immortal mercenaries who have been around for centuries, so possibilities are pretty much endless—especially after the last scene revealed that Quynh is still alive.
