Charlize Theron and Uma Thurman go "toe to toe" in the trailer for 'The Old Guard 2'

Netflix just dropped the official trailer for Victoria Mahoney's The Old Guard 2, which is based on the graphic novel series written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Leandro Fernandez. The film stars Charlize Theron, KiKi Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, Veronica Ngô, Henry Golding, Uma Thurman, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. 

"There's something for everyone in this movie: Fans who loved the first film, fans who love the original graphic novels — and brand-new fans who are looking for insane action, grounded and relatable characters, gorgeous locations, and a global cast of superstars," Theron, who is also a producer, told TUDUM.

Andy (Theron) and her team of immortal warriors are back, with a renewed sense of purpose in their mission to protect the world. With Booker (Schoenaerts) still in exile after his betrayal, and Quynh (Ngô) out for revenge after escaping her underwater prison, Andy grapples with her newfound mortality as a mysterious threat emerges that could jeopardize everything she’s worked towards for thousands of years. Andy, Nile (Layne), Joe (Kenzari), Nicky (Marinelli) and James Copley (Ejiofor) enlist the help of Tuah (Golding), an old friend who may provide the key to unlocking the mystery behind immortal existence. 

Layne, who reprises her role as Nile, said that "working with Charlize is a dream come true," adding, "I'm a young actress who is seeking to do more action films, so to work alongside someone who has opened the doors for women in action, I just learn so much from watching her. The things that she understands about storytelling and making a film are incredible. We'll show up, and she is digging into the script. She is finding ways to make adjustments to make the story stronger and to make it deeper and more meaningful. If I can get a little bit of that gift, I’m going to be all right in my career."
