'THE OLD GUARD' Writer Confirms Discussion About Sequel

Kapanlagi.com - Writer THE OLD GUARD Greg Rucka confirms discussion about THE OLD GUARD 2 but doesn't know when the final decision will be made. This Netflix film stars Charlize Theron as Andy, the leader of an immortal group that protects humanity and is based on the comic book by Greg Rucka. Gina Prince-Bythewood directs the film based on Rucka's screenplay.

THE OLD GUARD became an instant hit on Netflix after its release. The film received mostly positive reviews and quickly topped the daily Top 10 charts. It didn't take long for THE OLD GUARD to claim a spot in Netflix's record as one of the biggest streaming service films ever. This response has made many wonder when THE OLD GUARD 2 will be released, although Netflix has not confirmed plans for a sequel.

During a recent interview with DiscussingFilm, Greg Rucka was asked about the status of THE OLD GUARD 2. Rucka's source material for THE OLD GUARD has already surpassed what was shown in the first film, so the potential for a franchise is there. Fans of the film will surely be glad to hear that there have been discussions about a sequel, but Rucka warns that he doesn't know when Netflix will make the final decision on whether to make THE OLD GUARD 2 or not.

"Yes, of course. There have been discussions, but no confirmation yet, and I don't think there has been a decision whether there will be any other offers for the time being. The decision to make a second film will be made by people far beyond my reach. If they decide to make a second film, I will definitely be involved. It shouldn't be surprising if there is a discussion about THE OLD GUARD 2. This film is clearly liked by many viewers on Netflix, and its ending determines the next story. Those involved with THE OLD GUARD even expressed their desire to make a second film. Prince-Bythewood once said that there is an idea for a trilogy, while Theron wants to portray Andy again in the sequel. With the creative team of THE OLD GUARD being interested because the first film proved to be quite popular on Netflix, it would be quite surprising if the discussion of THE OLD GUARD 2 does not confirm the future franchise. Interest in THE OLD GUARD 2 is not only high because of the quality of the first film, but also because of how the first film determines the next story. There are many unanswered questions in the ending of THE OLD GUARD that can be addressed by a sequel, with the return of Quynh as a tempting attraction to what will happen next. Now we just have to wait and see if (or when) Netflix decides to make THE OLD GUARD 2 a reality.
