ALADDIN's Marwan Kenzari Joins The Immortal Warrior Film THE OLD GUARD

Skydance and Netflix are adapting Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez’s comic The Old Guard. The adaptation will star Kiki Layne and Charlize Theron with THR recently reporting that Marwan Kenzari is joining them. Kenzari is making waves right now for his portrayal of Jafar in Aladdin but will be playing “a man who was once a Moor warrior” in the story.

“Old Guard tells of a small group of soldiers, led by a woman named Andy (Theron), who are inexplicably immortal and have been working as mercenaries through the ages. The novelty of not dying long gone, the group gets a jolt in their bones when they discover the existence of a new immortal, a black woman serving in the Marines, at the same time as a nefarious organization captures their undying actions on camera.”

Old Guard is being directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (Cloak & Dagger) and no release date has been given yet. Are you familiar with The Old Guard?
