Directed by Gina Pryce-Bythewood and written by Greg Rucka, The Old Guard stars Charlize Theron, KiKi Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Harry Melling.
The Old Guard is based on a graphic novel of the same name, and tells the tale of a group of immortal warriors, led by Theron as Andromache of Scythia aka Andy, who perform assassinations around the world to keep the balance of power from tipping too far in any one collective’s favor.
Complications arise when a corporation comes after the group, intent on learning the secrets of their immortality.
It will be interesting to see if this angle will also come into play in future films.
