Charlize Theron stars in first trailer for Netflix’s The Old Guard

May 21, 2020 by Gary Collinson

Netflix has debuted the first trailer for The Old Guard, the upcoming action fantasy from director Gina Prince-Bythewood. An adaptation of Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez’s acclaimed comic book series, the film sees Charlize Theron lead a cast that includes Matthias Schoenaerts, Marwan Kenzari, KiKi Layne, Luca Marinelli, and Chiwetel Ejiofor; watch it here…

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 and monetize their power by any means necessary. Based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Greg Rucka and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (LOVE & BASKETBALL, BEYOND THE LIGHTS), THE OLD GUARD is a gritty, grounded, action-packed story that shows living forever is harder than it looks.

The Old Guard will premiere on Netflix on July 10th.
