Perspective
Development
In July 2020, Greg Rucka said, "In case of sequel, break glass. It's very straightforward. You want another one? Here's a way to get into it".[1] In the same month, Charlize Theron had expressed her interest in a second film, saying: "Let's have a little resting period, but just given the fact that all of us really want to do it, I'm sure when it's the right time, we'll start the conversation."[2][3]
It was reported on January 27, 2021, that Netflix had greenlit a sequel.[4] On August 26, it was announced that Victoria Mahoney would replace Gina Prince-Bythewood as director for the sequel. Theron, KiKi Layne, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, Matthias Schoenaerts, Vân Veronica Ngô, and Chiwetel Ejiofor were cast to reprise their respective roles from the first film.[4] In June 2022, Uma Thurman and Henry Golding were cast in undisclosed roles, while Greg Rucka was confirmed to have written the script for producers David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Theron, Beth Kono, AJ Dix, Marc Evans, and Prince-Bythewood.[5]
Filming
Principal photography began in June 2022 in Italy.[6] Some filming took place at the Italian Cinecittà Studios. In August 2022, the film's set caught fire while it was being dismantled, causing production to be delayed.[7][8] Additional filming took place in the United Kingdom. Filming was completed in September 2022.[6]
Post-production
In July 2024, Theron said that the film was shut down five weeks into its post-production due to regime changes at Netflix, but has since been completed and will be released "soon".[9] In August 2024, the Union of British Columbia Performers listed the film as being scheduled for two weeks of additional photography from October 7 to October 18, 2024.[10] Matthew Schmidt serves as the editor.[11]
Music
By January 2023, Max Aruj and Ruth Barrett were set to compose the film, replacing Volker Bertelmann and Dustin O'Halloran from the first film.[12]
Release
The Old Guard 2 is scheduled to be released on Netflix on July 2, 2025.[13]
