Charlize Theron’s The Old Guard 3 Update Raises Concerns For The Future Of The Netflix Series

This article contains spoilers For “The Old Guard 2.”

In 2020, “The Old Guard” has become a plan for the kind of intermediate level action movies that can prosper on Netflix. The Charlize Theron vehicle on immortal mercenaries with regenerative capacities took its sweet time to get a sequel, to the point that in July 2024, / film conducted a survey on If “The Old Guard 2” was still performing. The answer to the question finally proved to be “yes” and As confirmed by the trailer for “The Old Guard 2”The film even pays the most horrible moment in the original film by exploring what the five centuries of drowning constantly inside an Iron Maiden did to Quynh (Ngô Thanh Vân). Spoiler: she is not happy, and she has the first and most powerful Immortal, Discord (Uma Thurman), in her corner.

The “Old Guard” film series has a lot of potential and could easily cause another sequel or six. Unfortunately, criticisms were not nice to “The Old Guard 2”, which is enough to ask me if the story of the series could be over. Theron’s comments from his interview are also concern The Hollywood Reporterin which she revealed that “The Old Guard 3” is far from being concluded:

“One thing I learned in this company is that there is no guarantee, and it is really graceful of [Netflix] so as not to have pushed us in another direction. It was always there that we wanted to get the film, and it also recalls the first. We never finished the first thinking that we were going to do a second, but it was like that. So we have treated this one exactly the same thing, but I am completely honest when I say that we have absolutely no idea what [third film] would even look like. “”

Although it is understandable that Charlize Theron does not have a clear idea of ​​what the third film will be at a stadium where “The Old Guard 2” is so fresh in the oven, its confirmation that there are no concrete plans to follow the end of the cliffhanger of the film is somewhat frustrating. After all, “The Old Guard 2” ends with Quỳnh and Andy de Theron to make peace and associate with Discord, which almost confirms that the plan is (or, at least, was) to present even more action Theron vs Thurman in the future.

The culminating confrontation between the star of the star of “Mad Max: Fury Road” and the discord of the veteran of “Kill Bill” is the kind of fascinating battle between the established action lights that you rarely see outside of the “Expendable” franchise, and I, for one, would certainly host some other combat scenes between the two. Unsurprisingly, Theron appreciated the opportunity to work with his colleague. As she said, she had been looking for a project to do with Thurman for some time:

“I cannot tell you how many times we have developed something and I would throw her name. Her action is so strong, and she has really lifted the bar.

“The Old Guard 2” is now available for streaming on Netflix.
