If there’s one trend that we love, it’s women over 40 competantly kicking a--, covered in mud, blood, and grime. It’s honestly sizzling. And we’re obsessed. And that’s why we couldn’t be more excited that The Old Guard 2 has added Uma Thurman as its devilish villain. The Old Guard already starred Charlize Theron in Netflix’s first woman-led tentpole action movie. And adding Thurman, well known for her katana-wielding ways, to The Old Guard 2 is exactly what the sequel movie needs to up the ante. So sit back and enjoy the array of talents and battles that we get to see in The Old Guard 2 teaser trailer.

The Old Guard 2 kicks into high gear below.

Charlize Theron’s Andy claims she’s at peace when The Old Guard 2‘s teaser trailer kicks off. So peace involves a little bit of fighting and throwing men out of windows, so what. But it doesn’t seem like any kind of peace will hold on for very long. In the teaser trailer for The Guard 2, we soon see that Quynh (Veronica Ngô) has escaped her underwater prison since the events of The Old Guard, and she’s ready for revenge. And then, of course, there’s Uma Thurman’s mysterious First Immortal character Discord, who can see right through Theron’s Andy, and isn’t sure she likes what she sees. They clash, and we can’t wait to see their fight in full.

The Old Guard 2 shares an official synopsis of the movie alongside its teaser trailer, which reveals more about the plot. It offers us this: “Andy (Charlize Theron) and her team of immortal warriors are back, with a renewed sense of purpose in their mission to protect the world. With Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) still in exile after his betrayal, and Quynh (Veronica 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 (KiKi Layne), Joe (Marwan Kenzari), Nicky (Luca Marinelli) and James Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) enlist the help of Tuah (Henry Golding), an old friend who may provide the key to unlocking the mystery behind immortal existence. Directed by Victoria Mahoney, and also starring Uma Thurman, The Old Guard 2 is an emotional, adrenaline-pumping sequel, based on the world created by Greg Rucka and illustrator Leandro Fernandez.“

Mortals vs. Immortals. Mysterious threats. And Uma Thurman crossing swords with Charlize Theron. And that’s just what we see in The Old Guard 2‘s teaser trailer. Like we said, sign us up. The Old Guard 2 releases on Netflix on July 2. It has been FIVE years since the first movie, so consider us READY.
