Charlize Theron and Her Team of Immortal Mercenaries Fight to Protect the World in New Trailer for THE OLD GUARD
We’ve got another trailer for you to watch for Netflix’s cool-looking action-thriller The Old Guard. The film is an adaptation of the graphic novel series created by writer Greg Rucka and illustrator Leandro Fernandez.

I’m excited about this movie! I love what I’ve seen from it and the action sequences. I’m just happy to see Theron back in a film where she gets to kick some more ass. The movie is described as “a gritty, grounded, action-packed story that shows living forever is harder than it looks.” It also stars Kiki Layne, Marwan Kenzari, LucaMarinelli, Harry Melling, Van Veronica Ngo, with Matthias Schoenaerts, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Here’s the synopsis for the film:
Forever is harder than it looks. Led by a warrior named Andy (Charlize Theron), a covert group of tight-knit mercenaries with a mysterious inability to die have fought to protect the mortal world for centuries. But when the team is recruited to take on an emergency mission and their extraordinary abilities are suddenly exposed, it’s up to Andy and Nile (Kiki Layne), the newest soldier to join their ranks, to help the group eliminate the threat of those who seek to replicate & monetize their power by any means necessary.
The Old Guard hits Netflix on July 10th.
