Get ready for more immortal action! The highly anticipated trailer for *The Old Guard 2* has dropped, and it promises even more thrilling combat and a deeper dive into the lives of these ageless mercenaries. Picking up after the events of the first film, the sequel sees Charlize Theron return as the formidable Andromache "Andy" of Scythia, now grappling with mortality.

This time around, Victoria Mahoney takes the directorial reins, with Gina Prince-Bythewood staying on as a producer. The story, co-written by Greg Rucka (author of the original graphic novels), throws Andy and her team into a whirlwind of new challenges. A major threat emerges in the form of the first immortal, played by the iconic Uma Thurman, leading to a sword fight that's already got fans buzzing.

But that's not all! Quynh (Veronica Ng), a fellow immortal, has escaped a centuries-long imprisonment and is seeking revenge, teaming up with the traitorous Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts). Meanwhile, newbie immortal Nile (KiKi Layne) continues to find her place within the group. With the past catching up to Andy and the stakes higher than ever, the Old Guard faces a fight for survival.

The film also features returning stars Marwan Kenzari and Luca Marinelli as the beloved couple Joe and Nicky, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as their handler Copley. Adding to the excitement, Henry Golding joins the cast as Tuah, a longtime friend of Andy's. Mark your calendars: *The Old Guard 2* is set to explode onto Netflix on July 2nd!
