The film on its release on Netflix in July quickly made it to list of top 10 on the platform and was widely viewed and appreciated. Based on a comic by Rucka, the book is about centuries old group of mercenaries who have the power of self healing but someone now knows their secret and they have to fight to protect it in order to save humanity.
The writer told a media agency that the discussions for the second part of The Old Guard are on but there’s isn’t any official confirmation. Also, Greg Rucka’s original material is wider than that shown in the film. Earlier, even the film’s director Gina Prince-Bythewood had put forth the idea of a trilogy.
So one can totally expect Netflix to expand The Old Guard franchise, on the lines of Chris Hemsworth starrer Extraction and Sandra Bullock starrer Bird Box. A lot of unanswered questions that prevail in one’s mind after watching the film might be answered in this much anticipated sequel.
