Netflix's adaptation of Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez's comic series The Old Guard proved to be one of the streamer's most popular original movies when it debuted back in 2020, and the planned sequel has now added a couple of major names to its cast.

THR reports that Uma Thurman (Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction) and Henry Golding (Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins) have signed on in supporting roles (no details on their characters were provided). Charlize Theron is set to return as Andromache of Scythia, along with KiKi Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, Veronica Ngo and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

The first film focused on a group of immortal warriors led by Theron's Andy, who do their best to make the world a safer place as mercenaries for hire. No plot details for the sequel have been released, but the ending of the original certainly left the story open to continue.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker second unit director Victoria Mahoney will helm the project, taking over from Gina Prince-Bythewood who was forced to bow-out due to a scheduling conflict.

Remember when Snake Eyes was a thing? Probably not. Also forgot the Old Guard happened too.

@Kumkani - I wanted to like Old Guard. Love the comic but it was just bland sadly.

Did not think they were serious when they announced the sequel... Still waiting on Bright 2 Netflix. Willy slap or not.

Does an adaption of someone else's work still count as original? that an honest question? Does it only mean in the context film productions?

Loved the Old Guard. Keep going with it. Build that world. It's much better than the juvenile and predictable Stranger Things crap.

@NGFB - I finally got around to watching it yesterday after being incessantly told to by my father. It wasn't bad and I'm looking forward to the sequel, especially given the casting news. I waited so long to watch that I saw Kiki Layne in Rescue Rangers first. Go fig.

Can we get Kill Bill Vol. 3?

@TheSuperMex - Nope. There's history there between Uma and Tarantino so I doubt that ever happens.

Would much rather remember Henry Golding from The Gentlemen, but good news nonetheless.

Remember that time when Tarantino and Weinstein forced Uma to do a stunt she wasn’t trained for in a car not set up for the stunt which caused her to crash and get injured and then they almost had her blacklisted in Hollywood.

Driving down a country road is a “stunt”? Yeah that’s some Tom Cruise level shit there!

Damn, she'd be the perfect candidate as Tsunade for a live Action Naruto Movie one day.
