The release date is July 10 2020. Rucka describes her story as “Johnwick meets Highlander.” She also adds, “The heart of the conflict for the lead is that Andy’s very very old and doesn’t know why she’s still living.” She also complains, “For Andy, she’s seen a lot of people come and a lot of people go. The question then is- why not me?”
The official synopsis of The Old Guard on Netflix reads: “Led by a warrior named Andy (Charlize Theron), a covert group of tight-knit mercenaries with a mysterious inability to die has fought to protect the mortal world for centuries. But when the team is recruited to take on an emergency mission and their extraordinary abilities are suddenly exposed, it’s up to Andy and Nile (KiKi Layne), the newest soldier to join their ranks, to help the group eliminate the threat of those who seek to replicate and monetize their power by any means necessary. Based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Greg Rucka and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (LOVE & BASKETBALL, BEYOND THE LIGHTS), THE OLD GUARD is a gritty, grounded, action-packed story that shows living forever is harder than it looks.”
