Man, The Old Guard 2 dropped on Netflix on July 2, 2025, and it left us all hanging with that insane cliffhanger! Fans are losing it, myself included, dying to know what’s next for Andy, Nile, and the crew. There’s no official word on The Old Guard 3 yet, but the buzz is real, and I’ve been scouring X and the web to piece together what’s up. Here’s the lowdown on release date guesses, who’s coming back, and what the plot might throw at us—everything we know (or think we know) so far.
The Old Guard 3 Potential Release Date
No release date yet since it’s not confirmed, but let’s do some educated guessing. The first movie hit in 2020, and the second took five years to land because of strikes, Netflix shake-ups, and who-knows-what-else. If they get moving soon—like, announce it this year—filming might start in 2026. That could mean a release around mid-2027, maybe July to match the last one. But Charlize Theron’s got a packed slate with stuff like Apex and Atomic Blonde 2, so some folks on X are worried we might be waiting until 2028 or even 2029.
The Old Guard 3 Expected Cast
The cliffhanger left a lot of our faves in a rough spot, so here’s who we are betting we’ll see if The Old Guard 3 happens:
-
Charlize Theron as Andy
-
KiKi Layne as Nile
-
Marwan Kenzari as Joe
-
Luca Marinelli as Nicky
-
Vân Veronica Ngô as Quỳnh
-
Henry Golding as Tuah
-
Uma Thurman as Discord
-
Chiwetel Ejiofor as Copley
Poor Matthias Schoenaerts as Booker probably won’t return since he died in The Old Guard 2.
The Old Guard 3 Potential Plot
That cliffhanger had Andy and Quỳnh gearing up to rescue Joe, Nicky, Nile, and Tuah from Discord, who’s obsessed with getting her immortality back. Here’s what we think might go down, mixed with some fan theories floating around:
Andy and Quỳnh’s Rescue Mission: These two are gonna team up, and it’s gonna be intense. Their history is messy—lovers, enemies, now allies again. Quỳnh being mortal now adds this heartbreaking vibe. Will she survive the final fight?
Discord’s Evil Plan: Uma Thurman’s Discord is the oldest immortal, and she’s desperate to use Nile’s power to fix her immortality. Some fans on X think she’ll go after Nile’s family to mess with her head. One post was like, “Discord’s gonna be ruthless, I can feel it.”
Nile’s Big Moment: Nile’s ability to strip immortality is wild. We bet she’ll have to decide whether to use it on Discord or risk losing her team. Maybe she’ll even question if she wants to stay immortal.
Immortality Secrets: Tuah’s books had Andy glued at the end of the second movie. We are thinking they’ll dig into how immortality started. Maybe there’s a bigger bad out there, like a shady corporation or another immortal we don’t know about.
Emotional Payoff: If this is the last movie, it’s gotta wrap up the team’s stories. Themes of loyalty, betrayal, and living forever are so core to this series. We are expecting tears and epic fights.
