For those out of the loop, here is a summary of what we know about the car chase scene in The Old Guard 2. Credit to our fandom detectives @pochiperpe90 and @nicojoe, and to @NewsMultiplied on Twitter!
The chase was filmed earlier in August near Lake Iseo (pictured below) in Italy. The cars involved have Swiss plates so we can presume the location is serving as a substitute for Switzerland.
In the scene a black sports car and red sports car are being chased by an SUV. See below photos of the custom-made sports cars and the reserve cars.
Both sports cars are crashed in the scene and we know that the red car ends up in the lake.
We know from IMDb that stunt driver Martin Ivanov is Nicky's double. Stunt drivers Samuel Hübinette and Tanner Foust were also involved in the shoot. Samuel said on his insta story that the scene has the potential to be something special once it hits the editing floor!
In the photo below we can see a stunt driver who looks like Joe, so we can speculative that Joe is driving the red car and Nicky is driving the black car.

I was so inspired by @nicojoe lovely post about the potential yusufcore vibes, that I ended up drawing a quick sketch :)
ID. A digital sketch of the character Yusuf Al-Kaysani from the movie, The Old Guard. He is wearing regency era clothing, and his hair is being tied back by his husband, Nicolò di Genova off screen. The picture is black and white, except for the lace which is a two toned yellow.

My #1 post of 2022
i saw someone say that OFMD’s queer rep is unprecedented in mainstream entertainment and started to feel myself get a little exasperated when i realized that Netflix is entirely at fault for not properly promoting The Old Guard for what it is.
the general public (if they were even aware of it) assumed it was just another dumb, straight-to-streaming action flick when instead it’s essentially a found family story about a diverse group of queer immortals who’ve used their indestructible bodies to fight against oppression for centuries.

So I was reading fic, as one does, when I had a characterization idea, as one does, that dropped me into a wiki hole, naturally. So now I have meta, tentatively titled:
Or How to fuck up a team
Bear with me here, Everything that happens in The Old Guard can be blamed on the Church of England and a critical lack of Respecting Women Juice.
I would “In this essay, I will,” But that would be an insult to essays. What follows is a ADHD ramble that keeps pinballing into even higher scoring holes in my head. I apologize.
Looking at most teams in media you have tropes and those tropes kinda make up the way we read characters. This isn't a bad thing, I’m not saying anything new here; much like DND alignments tropes kinda help you build characters, and figure out paths that they should take.
So The Old Guard, I fucking love this movie, the comics are an imperfect delight, All of it is living rent free in my head for the foreseeable future. Love is stored in The found Family Trope! I’m writing fanfiction for the first time in a fucking Decade and I Hate It! Which is fitting because its Book of Nile and that’s in the Manifesto!!! I’ve been ruminating on why Not Enough People Love Nile Freeman apart from the obvious (misogynoir) and myself struggling with my my brain cant get over the sad french rat man WHen! NILE! IS! RIGHT! THERE! I will come back to this point.~
SO Tropes, for groups tropes exist two, dynamic duos, golden trios, etc. And the Old Guard was fucking with me because the tropes kept falling like one or two hairs off. For the purposes of this I am ignoring Lykon***, because I need to sleep at some point tonight and I cant characterize him the best based on 15 seconds of screentime.
The big group tropes that suit the canon here are: The Five Man Band, The Command Crew, Damage-Healer-Tank and its variants, The Four Temperament and the Four Philosophy Ensembles. They’re all linked and none of them are perfect but together they do the damn job.
(sweet jesus im making graphics quarantine is a bitch i need my fuckin job back)
The Guard at its Largest and Earliest is a quartet. Andromache, Quynh, Joe, Nicolo. They Work: a head, a heart, and two arms, which is more or less my conception of the Guard. The problem comes when the Church of mother fucking England comes along and tells a bunch a folks that the weird lady on the edge of town isn't touched in the head nah she's a whole ass witch, we’re gonna kill her. That's Just Not On, enter our dudes.
The other point about the guard here is that when split they form pretty solid and clean head and heart couples, which wouldn’t you know the mix-match of those seem quite well liked by the fandom at large. Anyways CoE is shitty and removes Quynh from our team and this is where everything goes to fuck.
Basically, as soon as Andy loses her second/emotional support everything falls out of alignment and the team isn't self sustaining anymore so to speak
The team loses its proverbial heart yes, but that shouldn't be insurmountable, in all of the various group trope set ups heart (The Chick, The Medic, The Optimist, Choleric, center column for RPG) is never really the top of the list, usually second some times further down. The key is that everyone of these has something/someone at the center, a fulcrum or balance. That should be Andromache, the oldest, most objective and experienced etc etc. But unlike less human hero’s Andromache kinda goes to shit, which is what makes her a fun character to watch, she's struggling that’s relatable, we all know how it works.
But She falls out of the leader position in all the emotional ways, from what we see, and in just about all configurations, she falls into the least stable trope. The only one where she doesn’t is The Command Crew, which of course that grouping is all about Function and obviously Andromache the Scythian has all her function based cylinders firing. Possibly too much even, at the start of the film the team is regrouping after a break, they needed R&R, the work was getting to heavy. And we see Andy’s fatigue repeatedly in the film but she’s the Captain, She Goes First. Injury and exhaustion don’t matter, because she has to function and there’s no one in the second position to take that burden off of her.
By my estimation the Guard is working in this sorta configs for the majority of the movie
(im on a roll and I’ve accepted my fate)
Where I doubled thing up the “natural position” is first and the Post Quynh position follows
So now things are outta whack and Booker comes along. Now pls understand the this is Not Making excuses for, or Woobifying. Booker failed to communicate and chose to treat his team/family as collateral.* This entire motherfucking thesis essay came about as me trying to figure out why Booker fits into the team so awkwardly and Lo! So anywhere from 150-60 years after Quynh is sunk, The team dreams of a new dude. The fandom has made a lot of the fact that Booker was a conscript not a fighter of his own will. And depending on Quynh’s origns he may be alone in that. So a dude who was stuck in a war he didnt choose finds out hes immortal while hanging from a noose in the ass end of Russia. Not a good day.
We know when the team finds him he insists on going back to his family, beyond all counseling then within 50 years give or take he’s back and he’s the New Guy, The New guy is always gonna be 2 things, full of shiny new skills and with not a clue how things work . That character become a bit of dead weight that needs carrying but also a resource in all the places they have new information. And here’s the second really unfortunate thing. Altogether TOG fandom knows 3 overarching things about Booker: He loved his family to the point of despair; he’s cares about his family’s opinions, wellbeing, and happiness; he’s lonely alcoholic, and depressed as fuck. As torn up as he stays about his family (nearly crying in a cave talking to Nile more than a century later!) its a fair assumption that he would throw him self into the team when he returned.
I am not going to assume from the outset that the dude who sat at his son’s bedside and tried to be a good Father after he literally died, jumped headfirst into the bottle at the first chance (also the makeup doesn’t support it and the makeup dept. did a fair amount of the work of making booker look like an alcoholic) My guess is his first move after grieving was the distract himself with the team, learning and teaching in kind. They don’t have the relationship that Joe Nicky and Andy are so upset about him destroying outta know where. Booker probably wanted to make himself as useful as possible and knowing about Quynh he knew that his presence was the thing that made them a foursome again.
In short, Booker picked up every single fucking role he saw empty and tried to fill it because it would distract him from his pain (it didn’t that’s what talking/therapy is for but oops 1812) and because it made him needed and useful again. The guy’s quintessential character trait is grieving Father. He was determined to provide for his first family, which is how he ended up in the army anyways and it stands to reason that he would do the same for the Guard. It’s no mistake that the thing that hooks him on his suicide attempt is the idea of saving other people from pain/grief.
So this guy is putting all his familial angst on the team (silently) and picking up what’s needed, Like finding jobs, a task that probably used to be Joe’s, staying up on current tech, forging, fighting. And eventually drinking when its not enough to deal. So the teams proverbial squishy wizard (the only who had no formal fight training before he died) is pulling double duty, which isn’t a problem unto itself.
But he becomes Andy’s Partner. Joe and Nicky are a pair she clearly doesn’t begrudge them that. She and Book are the spares, on and off the job. I’m sure the idea of a 70 year old immortal trying to comfort a 6000 year old immortal on losing her wife sounded ridiculous to him too, so he empathize and followed her lead(new kid) And Andy, fairly given both loss and the relative span of time for her, Is still out of alignment, She’s not necessarily acting as a leader, though I’m sure by this point Booker clearly regarded her as one. But instead of moving past the tragedies of his mortal life Booker is still living with that grief (it was all the two of them had as he said)
This is not a good look. Andy lacks emotional support and the team props her up where they can but none of them have anything close to the literal scale of experience she’s working with. Yusuf and Nicolo pick up slack in certain places, but have each other to retreat into and importantly an Idea of the Before times. They know exactly which niches to fill or leave empty. Booker lacks emotional support (his fault), is floundering at how to deal with/fit into the team (everyone’s fault) and most likely trying to overcompensate for feeling out of place by doing As Much As He Can (not a bug but a feature)
ENTER NILE FREEMAN: THE PERSON WHO MADE IT ALL MAKE SENSE
(YA’LL THOUGHT I WAS DONE????)
Bookers exile is reflected here and the Grey roles in Niles chart represent the places where his absence affects her entry to the team
As soon as I came back to Nile It made sense, Bookers ungodly block of meta and analysis of how this sad white boy got broke is a direct result of the moment I realized how much Emotional Labor and Weight just got dropped on Nile’s sweet 26 year old shoulders. Because the facts are:
Andy is just now in the year of No Lords 2020 pulling her head out of the 500 year funk that she and then she and Booker wallowed in. For 500 years the team functioned around her warped heart. For me this is not a Fault of Andy, its quite squarely on the Goddamned Shitshow of the Medieval Church of England.
Because to be quite frank, a 6700 year old woman is allowed 500 years to mourn her 2500 year old relationship. Looking at those numbers Andy was doing fine on the getting over it front.
Nile and Booker’s fuck up (and arguably her mortality) woke Andy up to herself again, but had that not happened; Nile’s first century would have been unbearable, The New Kid in a team where now Everyone is emotionally traumatized, you’re picking up the slack of the Heavy they just had to exile.** Hopefully bringing in Copely removes Navigator from her row, but instead of that she gets the honor of Andy proverbially passing her the torch.
The Movie makes it clear as do the Comics that Nile is going to be Andy’s Second if not eventually her replacement. Not as a replacement for Quynh though, Nile doesn’t have the temperament for that. Which means that Nile ends up in a different awkward position to Bookers. The hero in training, who doesn’t have a “sidekick” to balance the load with. To be fair Andy was a lone hero for 3000 years, but that was a very VERY different world. Andy literally could not know 1/4 of the scope of the problems that Nile will “inherit.” The scope of the current world would have been like looking out the other side of a black hole to that Andromache
And Nile is no less compassionate than Booker, pragmatism would have said to leave the person, who 1) shot your boss 2)abandoned your team 3) wants to die 4) asked you to leave him there. So that is the terrible horrible no good very bad predicament that Nile Freeman undeservedly finds her self in that leads to having to use her own body to turn Dudley Dursley into a pancake.
~ This is where the point about why the Frenchman when Nile is right there pops back up. The coda puts a close on Nile’s Story to an extent. One way or another Nile in the next 6 months to a year in universe is going to have some amount of the excess weight taken off of her. Quynh’s reappearance in any function makes that inevitable even if it comes from Andy’s Death, because if Andy Dies the table is wiped clean and rearranges itself especially I would imagine if that death comes before Nile even turn 50.
Nile has baggage, Nile has a carry-on and a pair of checked bags and she’s checking in for a first class delta flight. Armed with her headphones of emotional awareness and well being she gonna get through the turbulence of her first lifetime almost certainly
Andromache is promised much of the same. Especially in a world where she and Quynh are afforded the grace of getting to fight and sit and talk and find absolution and resolution for the Literal Worst We’re On A Break/It’s Long Distance of all time.
Yusuf and Nicolo will get over this shit together and fuck off into the sunset, as has been written many mmmmany times.
Booker on the other hand is taking off from Kitty Hawk, in a Wright Brothers replica with 2 moving trucks worth of luggage. He is a flaming human disaster heading for the water. And people fucking love looking at Crash wreckage and flames. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In a just and perfect world with out the Church of England these fuckers would be a Well Oiled Machine though, like FUUUUUCK
(ONE LAST TIIIIME)
There are some question marks as to where people will fall in a post crisis setting, I’m taking the most optimistic view myself.
Ultimately Booker, should be the universal heart of the team, they just need to let him be Q/Ops because THATS A VALID TEAM POSITION TOO. And then he’s always perfectly positioned to be Nile’s emotional support person as well.
TL: DR
- Give Nile a Fighter Jet instead of the Axe****
- Booker’s grief counselor says house husband would be the best occupation for him,
- Andy needs Therapy more than Booker but Maybe some day he’ll be equipped to give it,
- Quyhn should be allowed to ritually destroy the Church of England and drown the Pope because they nearly destroyed her family
Fin.
*In a perfect world based on this meta, Booker would have called everything out and spilled his guts after the Sudan shitshow pushed Andy to call it Quits or most Certainly after dreaming of Nile, but alas, The Plot!
**Potentially I like to think Nile has the good sense and emotional literacy to say when its to much for her unlike certain french folk
*** Lykon I’m sorry. Your Smile is Radiant and you are clearly Heart/Smart Guy/Sanguine/Optimistic/Tank. YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN TO BE A BOISTEROUS BRUISER. You deserve better and someday perhaps I will write an epic about how this never happened if you had been around
**** I fully accept the headcanon from the glorious ionsquare fic that Nile inherits and wears into battle Bookers Napoleonic sabre. But let my good bitch fly some planes and spaceships too. Its the millennial dream

Marwan Kenzari and Joe’s Anger
I noticed while reading that in The Old Guard screenplay it says a few different times that Joe “roars” or “growls” -
and a couple of people in fandom have addressed how shady that is, given that Joe is an Arab man and MENA men are so often stereotyped as aggressive or violent.
(Then there’s the fact that the original comic artist for the old guard, Leandro Fernandez, literally said, “ I’ve paid special attention to Joe’s eyes: even if his face has average Middle Eastern characteristic, I wanted his look to be almost scary,” which pretty much means it was intentional to make Joe’s depiction in the original comics a racial caricature.)
But we know from watching the film that Joe never actually growls or roars, right? There are numerous moments I can think of in which it would arguably have been appropriate for someone to express their anger with “roaring” or “growling” but Marwan Kenzari never does this. The only time he comes close, as @nicojoe pointed out to me, is when he picks up and bear hugs Andy as they reunite, and it’s an expression of affection - not anger.
One of the times he could have “roared” or “growled” and didn’t that I can think of is when they’ve finished killing everyone on the kill floor. Joe spits out a bullet, and says, “Very pissed off.” The next, when he headbutts Merrick, and says, “There’s your balance, asshole.” Followed quickly by being stabbed multiple times with an envelope opener, to which he shakes it off, and says, “Goddamn it. Ugh. Shit.” Then of course, there’s, “You shot Nicky. You shouldn’t have done that,” to Keane, followed by breaking his neck.
On each of these occasions, Marwan doesn’t yell. His voice is low, and reserved. His face is stern and still, which is exceptionally understated expression given the emotion he’s feeling, which is indisputably anger, or in the case of being stabbed, pain.
I’m posting about this because I don’t think this fandom talks about Marwan’s acting choices enough. We have talked about Luca’s, I have talked about Luca’s, and have mentioned how impressive his choices were as well, but we haven’t talked about Marwan as much I don’t think, save of course for the van scene. In that scene, it would have also made sense for Joe to have been angry, but it’s obvious from watching the scene that what Joe is really feeling is overwhelming devotion to Nicky, and possibly, some worry that Nicky will be disheartened by the words of the homophobic men in the van. Joe is also unimpressed, and annoyed, and indignant, but these emotions all get set aside in favor of expressing that devotion to Nicky. And yes, Marwan’s acting in that scene is breathtaking - but I think...it was supposed to be. I think Marwan read the scene and knew what was expected of him and he did what was expected of him exceptionally well but - it was still what was expected of him.
But as for the scenes in which Marwan was expected to “roar” or “growl” Marwan specifically made the choice not to do that. He purposefully chose an understated expression of anger, keeping his voice low and even, his face almost expressionless, and every time he chose to do that the scene was more poignant for it. Instead of getting a loud, temperamental man who yells all the time, we get, well....
I think we get exactly what Joe would be if he were real. Joe has been alive for centuries. Centuries of conflict, centuries of putting up with ignorant people, centuries of getting killed by people who have less life experience than him, less knowledge of the world, and are, in his eyes, exactly as he says, children. After a while that anger would exhaust you. Not to mention you’d learn to manage your emotions more the older you got. When people are angry, yelling doesn’t help. Throwing a tantrum doesn’t help. It’s a waste of time and breath, something that someone almost a thousand years old would have learned and gotten over. It is also letting your emotions get the best of you, something someone that old just wouldn’t let happen.
So for Marwan to choose to express Joe’s anger this way, not only avoids the racial stereotype, but it’s always more poignant and it always characterizes Joe in a more realistic and meaningful way. It’s extremely impressive to me. The more I think about it the more I’m blown away.
But there’s one exception, isn’t there? In the lab, when Joe learns of Booker’s betrayal. That is the only time we see Joe express his anger by raising his voice, not to mention his gestures are wilder, closer to aggressive or temperamental, and his face looks properly angry. Marwan specifically chose to make this scene the exception because it doesn’t remotely resemble any of the other times Joe got angry.
I love purposeful contradictions in writing. In one of my writing classes, my teacher said to me, “Strive to make characters who are 90% one thing, and 10% the opposite. People in real life aren’t 100% anything 100% of the time, and your character will feel more believable.” So, I love it for that alone that Joe contradicts himself here, that Marwan chose to create a contradiction here. But more than that, I love that he chose this scene to contradict his other portrayals of Joe’s anger. Because, this anger is different, isn’t it? It’s personal, it’s a betrayal, it doesn’t just make him angry it hurts him. Booker is his family, he trusted Booker. This isn’t a random CIA agent setting them up, or a Pharma CEO treating him like a lab rat, or a hired body guard shooting Nicky -
Which, sure, I can see someone arguing, “But that’s also personal, that also hurts,” and I see that, but...it’s not really the same. Nicky is nobody to Keane, and Keane is nobody to Nicky. Containing Nicky is Keane’s current job, and the fact that he shoots Nicky isn’t really all that different than anyone killing Nicky any of the other thousands of times Joe has witnessed Nicky die. Yes, that’s the love of his life, but...random people kill the love of his life all the time. That’s why I think it’s no different than the other times Joe is angry.
But the lab is different, and Marwan made sure we knew it was. He purposefully made this the one point in the film in which we see Joe’s emotions get the best of him. The one time Joe is saying things without thinking, yelling, flailing, throwing insults and curses around. Had this been the case all those other times Joe is angry, it wouldn’t have stood out to us or indicated anything important, but because it is the exception we notice it and we know it’s important. As a result, we get insight into this character that we didn’t have before, which is the entire point of fiction. We know now what it takes to make a character who is normally calm and controlled when he is angry go absolutely feral.
It is...so fucking smart you guys. We are so fucking lucky Marwan Kenzari got this role. He isn’t just talented. The van scene - that’s talent. But he also knows what he’s doing. He also cares about his craft. He puts real thought into the portrayal of the characters he plays, and the decisions he makes based on his interpretation are genius. The rest of Marwan’s portrayal of Joe isn’t just talent, but genius.
I wanted this to just be a Marwan Kenzari appreciation post, but now that I’m here, I can’t leave it at this. The fandom’s assistance that Joe is actually an angry or temperamental man because of the one instance in the movie Joe let’s his emotions control him for once has got to stop. Marwan purposefully portrayed Joe as a man who is calm and controlled when he is angry, and purposefully created one exception and that exception was due to an emotion much more complex than ordinary anger which is betrayal. Ordinarily, Joe wouldn’t react like that when he’s angry, and the rest of the film is proof.
We should all take this into consideration next time we’re hypothesizing how Yusuf Al-Kaysani would react to minor, every day conflicts that make him angry. It takes a lot to make Joe actually show his anger because he is not an angry, hot-headed, short-fused, temperamental man who can’t control his emotions. He wants to see the best in people, to reason with them, to defuse the situation, and if that’s not an option, he wants to get his point across and move the fuck on, like he did with Keane.

I only saw a tv show template so I made my own movie one based on that (kept it red to go with the aesthetic 😅).
I really wanted to put The Old Guard in each square but I do actually love a lot more movies.
If y'all are so inclined, tagging: @emeraldcas @oldguardiannewtricks @nicojoe @fezfanatic @bundibird and anyone else who wants to, the more the merrier!

Tag people you want to get to know better!
Thank you for the tag, @pollyatsea
Favourite colour: Purple
Currently reading: Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner and The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova. And fanfic. Always.
Last song: Beggin’ by Maneskin
Last movie: The Old Guard. I visited a friend to help her after surgery and made her watch it. She really liked it. Which is good, because I’d hate to have to walk away from a 20-year friendship. LOL
Last series: Rewatching Sense8 with a friend who’s never seen it and about halfway through S2 of The Umbrella Academy.
Sweet, savoury or spicy: Depends on the day.
Craving: Travel. Specifically, London.
Tea or Coffee: Tea (rotating through an English Breakfast, an Irish Breakfast, and an East Frisian)
Currently working on: Being kinder to myself
Perhaps you’d like to join the game @nicojoe @nicelytousled @frogsarebxtches
