Charlize Theron Says ‘Old Guard 2’ Post-Production Got ‘Shut Down’ By Netflix, but the Sequel Will Come Out ‘Soon’: ‘I Really Love This Movie’

Charlize Theron explains why it's taking so long for the release of 'The Old Guard 2.'

The Oscar winner explains that the action sequel, which wrapped shooting about two years ago, has faced a lengthy delay due in part to a change in Netflix leadership. An adaptation of screenwriter Greg Rucka’s comic book of the same name and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, the movie stars Theron as Andy, the leader of a small army of superhero-esque immortals (Kiki Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts, Marwan Kenzari and Luca Marinelli), whose centuries-old secret existence is threatened by a villainous pharmaceutical titan who wants to replicate their DNA. The second installment was directed by Victoria Mahoney with Uma Thurman and Henry Golding joining returning cast members Theron, Layne, Schoenaerts, Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, Veronica Ngo and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
