"Forever is harder than it looks..."
Director Gina Prince-Bythewood's adaptation of Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez's Image Comics series The Old Guard is set to premiere on Netflix this July, and the streaming giant has now revealed that the first trailer will be with us this Thursday.
To accompany the announcement, the first poster featuring Charlize Theron's Andromache of Scythia and her fellow undying warriors has been released online.
The Mad Max: Fury Road star plays a centuries-old warrior who has died hundreds of times, only to resurrect and continue to fight. When we catch up with her in the present day she's leading a tactical vigilante team of other immortals (made up of Matthias Schoenaerts, Luca Marinelli and Marwan Kenzari) that takes out human traffickers, terrorists, and anyone else who preys on the vulnerable and the innocent.
When new immortal Nile (Layne) joins their ranks, the crew must work even harder to avoid being tracked down by a CIA operative and historian (Ejiofor) who has figured out their identities.
The film was produced by Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger, along with Theron, Beth Kono and AJ Dix for Denver and Delilah; and Marc Evans. Rucka penned the script himself.
