After what feels like an eternity, The Old Guard 2 finally has a release date! Netflix has officially announced that the action-packed sequel, led by Charlize Theron, will hit the streaming service on July 2, 2025—a full five years after the first film debuted.
The road to the sequel hasn’t been smooth. The movie faced multiple delays, including reshoots, leadership changes at Netflix, and the Hollywood strikes of 2023. While the first installment was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, the sequel is now in the hands of Victoria Mahoney, promising a fresh take on the story.
Though filming wrapped back in 2022, the movie got stuck in limbo due to Netflix’s internal restructuring. The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes further delayed things, preventing reshoots from being completed on time.
