Victoria Mahoney Discusses 'The Old Guard 2,' Its Action, And Working With Charlize Theron And Uma Thurman

After a long wait, The Old Guard 2 has finally arrived on Netflix, the long-awaited sequel to The Old Guard, with Charlize Theron returning to lead and director Victoria Mahoney helming the sequel. The Old Guard 2 is set six months after the first film and follows Andy (Charlize Theron) and her team, who are back in action with a renewed sense of purpose. Andy must confront her newfound mortality while Qyunh (Veronica Ngô) seeks revenge, and a mysterious threat looms closer, endangering the existence of the Immortals.

The Old Guard 2 brings Charlize Theron and Uma Thurman together in their first movie, and Victoria Mahoney takes an approach with the action that makes every sequence feel integral to the plot. I got to sit down with Victoria Mahoney and discuss what it felt like getting to be the first director to work with both Charlize Theron and Uma Thurman, how she tackled her action sequences and their importance, and the long development process for The Old Guard 2.
