One thing was certain since the first part of The Old Guard—fans will have to wait for the next part. Some time ago, when the The Old Guard 2 to the film was announced, expectations were high. And now, Luca Marinelli, who played Nicky in the first film, has given a good hint to the audience. He said that the film is going to be “really spectacular“.
Now the question arises, will it be really spectacular or will it just be a game of expectations? I myself am waiting for this sequel, and I can say with full hope that there will be no lack of action and excitement this time. Luca’s confidence excites the audience, but will it make a film like the first one? This is a question, but there is always hope.

Sequel launch: What’s going to change?
Now that we’re talking about the sequel to The Old Guard, we have to clear a few things. First, Victoria Mahoney will direct the film this time. This is a big deal, as Mahoney has tried her hand at some good projects before. The screenplay will again be written by Greg Rucka, whose writing has already proven that he can blend action and drama well.
The first name in the main cast of the film is Charlize Theron, who will be seen again in the role of Andy. Apart from this, Kiki Layne, Luca Marinelli, Veronica Ngo, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Matthias Schoenaerts and Marwan Kenzari will also return in their respective roles. This is the same team that rocked the first film.
Now a new thing is that Uma Thurman and Henry Golding will also be a part of this sequel, although their characters are still a secret. Will these two new characters bring any new threat to the team? Or will their role be important in some other way? We will get the answer only after watching the film.

What will happen in the story? Lines missing, but curiosity will remain
Not much is known about the plot at the moment, but since it is a comic book film, we can find out some information. The sequel, which is based on “The Old Guard Book Two: Force Multiplied”, will be connected to that story. In this new story, Andy and his team will face some more difficult challenges. At one place in the story it is written, “When you fight for a long time with Andy and his squad, your hands are soaked with blood.” That is, the spirit of war and conflict is going to dominate this time too.
In the second part of the story, Nile will have to struggle to make peace with the team, and at the same time Andy will have to face his old mistakes. Along with this, a new and dangerous character will emerge, which will challenge the beliefs of Andy and his team. Will the team have to work together this time or will mutual differences and conflicts become part of the story? It will be very interesting.
Charlize Theron recently told in an interview that the film took time to be made because there was a change of guard at Netflix. However, she also said that the film will be released “soon”, and she is eager to see it herself.
All this means that The Old Guard 2 is coming, and its story can see more thrill, conflict and deep emotional aspects than ever before. Seeing the enthusiasm of Luca and the rest of the cast, it seems that this film will live up to its expectations.
In the end, the wait for this film has become a little more exciting. Since, we know that there will be something new to see in the action and story every time, so we want this sequel to be even more explosive than before.
