Charlize Theron Reassures ‘The Old Guard 2’ Will Be Released Soon
Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron was at the Africa Outreach project block party when she opened up about her upcoming film ‘The Old Guard‘, which concluded its production about two years ago. The wait for the film’s release was long due because of some production issues, as explained by the actress.
“Netflix went through quite a changeover. We got kind of stuck in that and our post-production shut down, I think, five weeks into it,” she said. Theron also shared that she never worried the movie would be shelved because of the frequent changes.
“They were going through a lot of changes, and I understand it. We finally picked it back up and I’m excited about it,” she said. The first ‘The Old Guard‘ movie, adapted from Greg Rucka’s comic book, was released in 2020 with over 72 million views in the first four weeks.

The second installment of ‘The Old Guard‘ will be directed by Victoria Mahoney with Uma Thurman and Henry Golding, with cast members including Theron, Layne, Kenzari, Veronica Ngo, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Theron insisted that the upcoming film is an important part of the franchise. “It’s really good. It’s a really important film to us. I only wanted to do it if we could make it amazing. I love this movie,” she said.
Furthermore, in May 2023, producer Mark Evans also teased that the franchise could become a trilogy. “There’s an ending to No. 2 that kind of demands a No. 3, which makes me very happy,” he told Variety.
Meanwhile, Theron also revealed that she is spending time with her kids as part of her safe space. “I’m on the dance circuit with my kids. “It felt like something that I could give back. Young people need to have space where they can dream and be out of what their real world may be,” she said.
“It’s escapism. We want to be more all-inclusive and think outside of the box of what it really truly means to be a dancer,” she added.
