Netflix’s ‘The Old Guard 2’ premiered on July 2, 2025, continuing the saga of Andy (Charlize Theron) and her team of immortal warriors. The sequel picks up six months after the events of the first film and ends on a major cliffhanger, setting the stage for a possible third chapter.

Although ‘The Old Guard 3’ has not been officially confirmed by Netflix, the ending of the second film and comments from the cast and crew have sparked strong speculation.

Netflix’s The Old Guard Part 3

The second film reintroduces Quỳnh (Vân Veronica Ngô), Andy’s long-lost partner, and adds a new immortal named Tuah (Henry Golding) into the fold. The story ends with Andy’s team, Joe, Nicky, Nile, and Tuah, captured by the powerful villain Discord (played by Uma Thurman), who is revealed to be the oldest immortal. Discord wants to regain her lost immortality and is willing to torture Andy’s friends to get what she wants.

The final scene shows Andy poring over ancient books for clues about Discord, suggesting that the next chapter will focus on a major face-off between the two immortals.

The Old Guard Part 3 Expected Storyline

In ‘The Old Guard 2’, Andy discovers she is not the oldest immortal; Discord is. Meanwhile, Nile (KiKi Layne) is revealed to be the last immortal. This growing mythology hints that ‘The Old Guard 3’ will explore deeper lore, possibly introducing more immortals and unlocking hidden truths about their existence.

Who Will Return in The Old Guard 3?

If a third film happens, fans can expect most of the main cast to return. Charlize Theron’s Andy and Vân Veronica Ngô’s Quỳnh will likely lead the fight. Uma Thurman is expected to reprise her role as Discord. Also likely to return are KiKi Layne (Nile), Marwan Kenzari (Joe), Luca Marinelli (Nicky), and Henry Golding (Tuah).

Chiwetel Ejiofor’s character, Copley, was left in a mysterious situation, attacked, but his fate remains unclear. Matthias Schoenaerts’ character, Booker, dies in the sequel, but could return in flashbacks.

The Old Guard Director Victoria Mahoney Will Not Return

Director Victoria Mahoney, who helmed ‘The Old Guard 2’, has confirmed she won’t return for a potential third film. In an interview, she said, “I’m not in the room. I’m not in that discussion of whether there will be another or not.”

Mahoney cited scheduling conflicts, explaining, “The duration of this film took me from other projects I have, so I am legally obliged to some other projects. So, I will be for the next six, seven years, on some other jobs.”

Still, she expressed her excitement for what’s ahead, “Someone else will take that mantle in a wonderful, exciting way… and I will be eagerly awaiting it.”

The Old Guard 3 Tentative Release Date

Given the five-year gap between the first and second films, if Netflix approves ‘The Old Guard 3’, it may not arrive until 2027 or later.
