**Theron and Thurman Face Off in Highly Anticipated “The Old Guard 2″**
**Hollywood, CA –** Charlize Theron and Uma Thurman are set to star in the upcoming Netflix film, “The Old Guard 2,” marking a return to the action genre for both acclaimed actresses. The film follows immortal warriors Andromache of Scythia (Andy), played by Theron, and Discord, portrayed by Thurman, as they grapple with the consequences of their extraordinary regenerative abilities and engage in a millennia-spanning conflict.
“The Old Guard 2” marks Theron’s return to the franchise after the success of the first film five years ago, which was praised for its action sequences and melancholic tone. For Thurman, it’s a significant comeback to action movies after 21 years, following her iconic role as The Bride in Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” films.
Both actresses have previously created memorable action heroines, including Theron’s Imperator Furiosa in “Mad Max: Fury Road” and Thurman’s The Bride. While Theron has consistently appeared in action films like “Atomic Blonde” and “The Fast and the Furious” franchise, Thurman has largely avoided the genre since “Kill Bill.”
In a recent discussion at Netflix offices, Theron and Thurman spoke about the opportunity to work together and the unique appeal of “The Old Guard 2”. Thurman expressed her admiration for Theron and her excitement to be part of a project that brings together multiple prominent female actresses.
“Getting to work with a great actress is a precious thing, and projects are usually not designed to bring multiple heavyweight women together, as Charlize has done with this franchise,” Thurman said.
“The Old Guard 2” promises to be an action-packed film with complex characters and thrilling fight sequences. The film is expected to be released on Netflix later this year.
