The original “Old Guard,” released in 2020, was watched by 72 million households during its first four weeks on Netflix. The sequel was originally supposed to be released earlier than 2025, but Theron previously said that “Netflix went through quite a changeover. We got kind of stuck in that and our post-production shut down, I think, five weeks into it.”
