It’s looking like The Old Guard 2 is on track to hit Netflix in 2023. The sequel, starring Charlize Theron reprising her role as Andy, serves as a direct follow-up to the hit original that dropped on Netflix in 2020. Victoria Mahoney directs the new installment, taking over from Gina Prince-Bythewood, with the script by returning screenwriter Greg Rucka. Other returning stars include KiKi Layne, Luca Marinelli, Veronica Ngo, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Marwan Kenzari, while Uma Thurman and Henry Golding have also joined the cast.

The movie is currently in post-production as Theron has officially confirmed that filming has been wrapped on the movie. But that’s not to say she didn’t come out of production injury-free, as filming the action sequel took its toll on Theron’s body. Noting that she wrapped up her work on The Old Guard 2 in a new interview with THR, Theron also reveals how she had surgery after the shoot, lamenting how she was injured during training rather than while filming one of the movie’s impressive action-packed sequences.

Here’s what Theron said when asked about her reputation as being “tough,” given her willingness to often do her own stuntwork:

The Old Guard is based on the original graphic novel by Greg Rucka, who penned the scripts for both movies. The original film follows a group of mercenaries consisting of immortals with the superhuman ability to heal themselves. Full plot details haven’t been divulged for The Old Guard 2, but Theron has previously teased that it will be bigger and better than the first movie.

“It is pretty impressive what we did, because it felt very specific, the first time around, and we wanted to kind of like take it out of that,” Theron told Variety. “What we let the audience think was that set world, and we really kind of turned that on its head. So, I’m excited about that. We have a bigger cast, and it feels more global. It’s a big movie.”
