Charlize Theron has shared her hopes for a potential third instalment of The Old Guard while promoting the sequel, which premiered on Netflix on July 2.
Although the first film was not made with a sequel in mind, the success of the 2020 release led to The Old Guard 2, with Theron reprising her role as Andy.
The sequel, directed by Victoria Mahoney, sees Andy adjusting to her mortality while facing challenges alongside the return of Quỳnh and the arrival of Uma Thurman's character, Discord.
Theron says she is “never confident” about a third film, noting, “One thing I’ve learned in this business is that there are no guarantees.” She adds that while Netflix has supported their vision, there is currently “no idea what that [third film] would even look like.”
Later this month, Theron will join the set of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, playing the sorceress Circe. She acknowledges feeling like “the new kid on the block” but is excited by the scale of the production.
Reflecting on Furiosa, Theron praised Anya Taylor-Joy’s portrayal while expressing that the recasting remained “challenging” after having lived in the character’s body for so long. She described Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga as “absolutely beautiful.”
On a potential Mad Max: Fury Road making-of film, Theron agrees Mackenzie Davis would be an ideal choice to play her, stating, “She’s got the arms.”
Theron also confirmed the wrap of her new Netflix action film, Apex, highlighting its physically demanding challenges and her continued passion for action roles.
