And you can read Charlize Theron’s statement about returning for the long-awaited follow-up film right here:

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.

In this sequel, Andy must come to terms with her newfound mortality. This happens just as a new danger rises that threatens everything she’s been working toward for thousands of years. Former Wonder Woman writer Greg Rucka returns to write The Old Guard 2, based on his series of graphic novels. Joining him is co-screenwriter Sarah L. Walker. In the director’s chair this time is Victoria Mahoney, who was J.J. Abrams’ second unit director on The Rise of Skywalker.

Almost all of the original cast from Old Guard are coming back to their roles for this sequel. Aside from Theron who returns as Andy, among the returning cast are KiKi Layne as Nile Freeman, Marwan Kenzari as Joe/Yusuf Al-Kaysani, Luca Marinelli as Nicky/Nicolò di Genoa, Matthias Schoenaerts as Booker/Sebastian Le Livre, Vân Veronica Ngô as Quỳnh, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as James Copley. Joining the cast are Henry Golding and Uman Thurman. Golding plays Tuah, described as “an enigmatic figure who has been researching the immortals.” As for Uma Thurman, her role remains mysterious. But we can’t wait to find out.

The Old Guard 2 arrives on Netflix on July 2.
