Now, Uma Thurman recently made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon , and she couldn’t stop raving about Charlize. Fallon jokingly asked if Uma stepped into the sequel to show everyone how action’s really done, but Uma was super humble about it. She said watching Charlize in the first film was so inspiring—it was fresh, emotional, and full of depth. She admitted she didn’t think she’d be "showing anyone how it’s done" after watching The Old Guard 1 . She even called Charlize phenomenal. Honestly, coming from the Kill Bill legend herself, that’s high praise.
But what’s really exciting is what we’re learning about the sequel itself. Charlize Theron has opened up in interviews about how The Old Guard 2 is raising the stakes big time. Remember, at the end of the first movie, Andy loses her immortality. So now, she’s fighting with the knowledge that any battle could be her last. That adds a whole new emotional layer to her character. Charlize mentioned how Andy’s leadership style has changed—she’s more focused, more intentional, and aware that time is no longer infinite.
On top of that, we’ve got a new director, Victoria Mahoney, stepping in, and the original comic’s co-creator, Greg Rucka, is still onboard with the script. So you know it’s going to stay true to the source material. The creative direction seems tighter and even more intense this time around.
And let’s not forget that Uma Thurman herself is joining the fight as a villain—and yes, we’ve already seen a teaser clip of her battling Charlize, katana versus massive axe. It’s going to be epic. When asked about a third film, Thurman simply said, “There’s whispers,” and that it’s really up to the fans. Classic Hollywood tease, but also? It sounds promising.
With characters evolving, new enemies resurfacing, and Andy now vulnerable, The Old Guard 2 promises more than just action—it’s personal, it’s mythological, and it’s going to hit harder emotionally. Whether or not we get a third entry will depend on how this one lands with viewers, but Charlize Theron is clearly giving this role everything she’s got.
Fifteen days to go, and honestly? I can’t wait.
