Victoria Mahoney directs with a script from Leandro Fernandez, Greg Rucka and Sarah L. Walker. Theron, A.J. Dix, David Ellison, Marc Evans, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Beth Kono and Gina Prince-Bythewood serve as producers. Executive producers include Rucka, Marco Valerio Pugini and Denis L. Stewrart. “The Old Guard 2” is based on the graphic novel written by Rucka and illustrated by Fernandez.
The original “Old Guard,” released in 2020, was watched by 72 million households during its first four weeks on Netflix. The sequel was originally supposed to be released earlier than 2025, but Theron previously said that “Netflix went through quite a changeover. We got kind of stuck in that and our post-production shut down, I think, five weeks into it.”
“The Old Guard 2” comes to Netflix on July 2. Check out the trailer below.
