Charlize Theron's The Old Guard gets a poster ahead of Thursday's trailer

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Indie comic book lovers rejoice, because Netflix has debuted a new poster for THE OLD GUARD, an upcoming action vehicle from director Gina Prince-Bythewood, starring Charlize Theron as the film's central character, Andromache of Scythia. In addition to dropping the new poster online ahead of the project's July 10 Netflix debut, we've also received word that a trailer for the slick-looking feature will arrive this Thursday.

Based on Eisner-winning writer Greg Rucka and critically acclaimed artist Leandro Fernandez's indie comic book series, The Old Guard tells story of old soldiers who never die…and yet cannot seem to fade away. Trapped in an immortality without explanation, Andromache of Scythia – 'Andy' – and her comrades ply their trade for those who can find-and afford-their services. But in the 21st century, immortality is a hard secret to keep, and when you live long enough, you learn that there are many fates worse than death.

Netflix's THE OLD GUARD will join Andy in the present day. While she's still leading a highly-skilled tactical vigilante team of other immortals into missions that find them battling human traffickers, terrorists, and other scum of the planet, Andy has grown weary of her occupation's cyclical nature. Forced to watch the world destroy itself more times than she cares to remember, Andy begins to wonder if any of what she and her team are doing to defend the innocent is worth all the trouble and bloodshed.
