The Old Guard 2 (2025)

The Old Guard 2 might not reach the same heights of the first film, but the elements that work deliver some pretty great moments for action fans. Pitting Charlize Theron's Andy and her band of immortals against a deadly threat known as Discord, The Old Guard 2 benefits from the strong cast and solid action of the previous movie. The best scenes are the ones that let the character relationships move the plot, showcasing the cost of love and the price of abandonment. A solid action sequel that lays the groundwork for a follow-up, The Old Guard 2 benefits from a strong cast giving it their all.

If you loved The Old Guard, the sequel is a must, even if it’s not as great as the first one. There’s more of the same characters, but a greater focus on Charlize Theron’s Andy and an expansion of the mythology that adds plenty more stakes. Just as the first time, it is a great watch for those who love action that isn’t mindless, but that’s also centered on a team of people whose ties go deep. Plus, the action is often elevated, as it involves immortals. And if you’re wondering about the LGBTQ storylines, there’s even more to enjoy this time around, from established to budding romances.

A serious yet dramatic continuation of the original movie. It goes deep into the details of how the group was made as well
