The Old Guard 2 ❤

Like for real, it has been a year since production. Where are they?

2 old 2 guard this year?? please? i need to See Her Again

It has been so long that sometimes I think if The Old Guard 2 was a figment of my imagination...... if they really hadn't added Uma Thurman and Henry Golding to the cast...... if GPB didnt hand the reigns over to Victoria Mahoney...... if Andy didn't actually have a mullet............. if the cast didn't do that cute clip for that one netflix event........ if Kiki didn't actually rock a Kim Possible outfit...... Like oh god was that all in my head

WHERE THE FUCK IS IT

Where.

The hell.

Is The Old Guard 2.

Charlize Theron Is Paving A Different Path For Women In Hollywood

finished an andromaquynh ive had sitting in my laptop since literally 2020 (i couldnt figure out how to do the water so i gave up on it) and now here we are!!!

also version w/o water under the cut:

(different anon here) I honestly don't worry so much about the plot of the sequel, or even its narrative coherency... what keeps me up at night is the thought that they'll RUIN the characters we love by making them do or say out-of-character things, or making them genuinely unlikable. it's not victoria who i fear, but rather executive interference from netflix - they want their action films to be as dull and generic as possible. 

I agree, the main problem fans are going to have with a sequel is if the characters or relationships are ruined.

I'm not actually that concerned about a generic story. People don't often recognize it because the characters are so good and diverse, but the first movie was actually quite formulaic and generic. I knew what every beat of the movie was going to be before it happened. Literally as soon as Booker appeared, I was like, "Aha, this is her second-in-command and he's going to betray her." You could see the same plot in a Michael Bay movie, but Nicky would be a woman, all the others would be gritty white men in their 40s, the actors would all be directed to under-act, and Merrick's tower would explode at the end. The Old Guard is an outstanding high-concept action film because of its characters and direction.

Now despite my contention that TOG is a generic action film but Better, I absolutely agree with your concern in the following sense:

It doesn't really matter if the sequel's plot is... the CIA wants to recruit them, or Quynh's going to set off a giant bomb, or whatever. The character arcs established in the first film are going to be really difficult to continue satisfactorily. It doesn't help that sequels that change creative teams are notoriously bad at character continuity.

We really want more moments with the characters we love that feel authentic. But when you have a complex sensitive clusterfuck of character arcs trying to fit into a two-hour attempt at a blockbuster, it's really easy to imagine characters getting warped around a plot that was written without consideration for who they are. Reshoots typically make that worse.

I still want to see it. 🤣 I am but a simple creature wishing to gaze at new images of my faves.

so, the job guys...
