The action blockbuster, which premiered last week on Netflix, focuses on a squad of centuries-old immortals and mercenaries with regenerative healing abilities.
Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, the film also stars Charlize Theron (Atomic Blonde), Kiki Layne (If Beale Street Could Talk), Matthias Schoenaerts (The Danish Girl), Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) and Harry Melling (Harry Potter).
The Old Guard received wide acclaim from critics for Theron’s leading performance and the same-sex storyline between Kenzari and Marinelli’s characters, Joe and Nicky, due to the significant lack of LGBTQ+ representation in the action genre.
