The highly anticipated The Old Guard 2 has finally dropped on Netflix, but that ending has left fans with a burning question: Will there be a The Old Guard 3? After a five-year wait, the sequel concluded on a major cliffhanger, leaving the fate of our immortal heroes hanging in the balance.
What Happened in The Old Guard 2?
In the final moments, the team, led by Andy (Charlize Theron), finds themselves captured by the formidable Discord (Uma Thurman). Only Andy and her reunited lover, Quynh (Vân Veronica Ngô), remain free, vowing to rescue their comrades. This sets the stage for a potential third installment filled with action and suspense.
The Cliffhanger Ending: A Deliberate Choice
According to Henry Golding, who plays Tuah, the cliffhanger was intentional. The filmmakers knew they couldn't resolve everything in a single movie. The jeopardy faced by Andy, having lost her team, serves as a compelling hook for audiences. Now, she's on the defensive, and the combined power of Andy and Quynh promises an explosive confrontation with Discord.
Charlize Theron's Perspective
Charlize Theron herself has expressed a cautious optimism about a potential trilogy. Having experienced the disappointment of being replaced in Furiosa: Mad Max, she understands that nothing is guaranteed in the entertainment industry. However, the unresolved storyline and the positive reception of The Old Guard 2 suggest that a third film is highly likely.
Where to next?
- The return of Quynh after centuries of underwater imprisonment.
- The dynamic between Andy and Quynh as they face Discord.
- The fate of the captured Old Guard members.
Will Charlize Theron return as Andy? Only time will tell, but the stage is definitely set for another epic chapter in The Old Guard saga. Stay tuned for updates!
