Charlize Theron Battles Uma Thurman in Netflix’s ‘The Old Guard 2’ Trailer
Get ready for a cinematic showdown centuries in the making. Netflix has finally dropped the official trailer for The Old Guard 2, and it’s every bit the high-octane, emotionally-charged sequel fans have been waiting for. The biggest headline? Charlize Theron’s Andy faces off against Uma Thurman’s deadly new villain, Discord — and yes, she’s brought her katana.
Following the events of the 2020 hit The Old Guard, the immortal mercenaries are back, still fighting to protect a world that often doesn’t deserve them. But things have changed. Andy, once seemingly invincible, is now grappling with the terrifying reality of her own mortality.
Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) remains in exile after his betrayal, while Quynh (Veronica Ngô), having escaped her horrific underwater imprisonment, is driven by a thirst for vengeance. Andy reunites with her team — Nile (KiKi Layne), Joe (Marwan Kenzari), Nicky (Luca Marinelli), and James Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) — to confront a threat unlike anything they’ve faced before.
Enter Discord, portrayed by none other than Uma Thurman. Dubbed "the first of the immortals," Discord emerges as a powerful and enigmatic adversary with her own vision for the future of their kind — one that doesn’t include Andy or her crew.
Thurman, in a clear homage to her legendary role in Kill Bill, returns to sword-swinging form. The trailer teases a brutal, emotionally charged confrontation between Discord and Andy, promising a battle of philosophies as much as a battle of blades.
Directed by Victoria Mahoney, The Old Guard 2 looks to build on the unique blend of gritty action, character-driven drama, and existential depth that made the first film a hit. With locations spanning continents and stakes that stretch across centuries, this sequel promises to be bigger, bolder, and even more emotionally resonant.
The Old Guard 2 premieres exclusively on Netflix, July 2. Until then, you can catch up on the original and relive the moment the world met Andy and her crew of undying warriors.
