Four years after The Old Guard was released, Charlize Theron offers some insight into The Old Guard 2‘s production delay. Based on Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernández’s comic book, the 2020 movie followed a team of immortal warriors who currently serve as mercenaries. It starred Charlize Theron, alongside KiKi Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts, Harry Melling, and more. Despite The Old Guard‘s many unanswered questions, the sequel has been heavily delayed with few updates about its progress.
In an interview with Variety, Theron explained the reason for the continuous delays. With Netflix leadership changing partway through production, development completely paused five weeks into post-production. Though the delays have been extensive, Theron did have some good news, as she explained that the production is finally resuming. Check out her quote below:
Netflix went through quite a changeover. We got kind of stuck in that and our post-production shut down, I think, five weeks into it. They were going through a lot of changes, and I totally understand it.
We finally picked it back up
and I’m really excited about it. It’s really good. It’s a really important film to us. I only wanted to do it if we could make it amazing. I really love this movie.
