Andy’s psychological conflict at losing her immortality is at the core of ‘The Old Guard 2’.  Now that she is exposed, she has to contend with a sinister and perilous character (played by Thurman) who appears to be fully aware of the immortals’ past.  Andy is forewarned by Golding’s character that “she is the first of the immortals” and is aware of all their secrets.  Never has the peril in ‘The Old Guard 2’ felt more intimate.

 ‘The Old Guard 2’, which is based on a narrative by Greg Rucka and Sarah L. Walker, carries on the plot of Rucka’s graphic novels, which are illustrated by Leandro Fernandez.  The action movie promises dramatic combat scenes and an even more poignant plot, thanks to Mahoney’s contribution of her artistic flair from ‘The Rise of Skywalker’.
