In The Old Guard 2, the ageless fighters reunite for a brand-new mission that brings in a mysterious new foe and sees the return of Quyhn (Veronica Ngo).
Directed by Victoria Mahoney, the film also stars Uma Thurman and has been described by Netflix as “an emotional, adrenaline-pumping sequel, based on the world created by Greg Rucka and illustrator Leandro Fernandez.”
