🧭 PLOT SUMMARY

The Old Guard 2 picks up after the dramatic events of the first film. Andy, now mortal after losing her healing abilities, must confront her own vulnerability while continuing to lead the team of immortals.

As they regroup, a new threat emerges—an ancient immortal known as Discord (Uma Thurman), who views the team as a threat to the balance of power. At the same time, Quynh, long thought lost and now filled with resentment from centuries of isolation, resurfaces and may not be the ally the group hopes for.

The team faces internal tension as they try to reconcile past betrayals (especially from Booker) and forge new alliances, including with Tuah, a mysterious figure who might know the truth behind their powers. As they travel across the globe—from sacred ruins to high-tech laboratories—they must fight not only for survival, but for the fate of their kind.

Themes of loyalty, the pain of eternal life, and moral choices in a modern world continue to anchor the story. Expect explosive action, emotional depth, and a deeper dive into the mythology of the immortals.
