So, you watched The Old Guard 2 on Netflix, a movie fans have been waiting on for five years. And now, through a haze of rage and disbelief at that entirely unresolved, cliffhanger ending, you are frantically Googling: “Will there be an Old Guard 3 movie? What is The Old Guard 3 release date?”

Spoiler alert: Major spoilers for The Old Guard 2 ahead. Stop reading now if you haven’t yet watch the sequel!

In the final moments of The Old Guard 2 ending, everyone on the team has been captured by the evil Discord (Uma Thurman), except for Andy (Charlize Theron) and her recently re-united girlfriend Quynh (Vân Veronica Ngô ). Andy and Quynh resolve to go rescue their friends, and the movie ends. No resolution! No closure! We waited five years for this?

Obviously, the end of the movie sets up a third movie. The cast knew that would be the case going into the sequel, according to Henry Golding, who plays Tuah in the film. Decider asked Golding his reaction to the cliffhanger in a recent interview.

“We always knew we wouldn’t be able to summarize such an epic crescendo in one movie,” Golding told Decider. “We knew there was going to have to be a cut point. The jeopardy of Andy having lost the Old Guard, was such a carrot to dangle in front of the audience. Now she’s on the back foot. What does she do? She’s back with her eternal lover. The power that those two have, is a force to be reckoned with, and so the impending clash with Uma Thurman’s character—it’s salivating, just to think about. Somebody had to be put in a body bag, and I guess it was us!”

But will there actually be The Old Guard 3 movie? Here’s what we know.

Will there be an Old Guard 3 movie?

The Old Guard 3 movie has not yet been confirmed to be in development. That said, back in 2020, comics writer Greg Rucka—who wrote the first movie and co-wrote the sequel—said he always envisioned the movies as a trilogy.

In a 2020 interview with Looper.com, Rucka said, “There is a complete three-part story that can be told. God willing, if it’s a success, Netflix comes back and says, ‘Hey, let’s do it again.’ There’s more to tell, and there are questions that we want to answer.”

When asked point-blank if there would be a third movie by Decider in a recent Zoom interview, stars Henry Golding and Marwan Kenzari didn’t have a straight answer, though both made it clear they would love to make The Old Guard 3, if given the chance.

“It really depends on you guys [the audience],” Golding replied.

Kenzari agreed, and added, “I think we just all hope that we [get a sequel], as fast as we can. We don’t need a lot of excuses to hang out, on set, and off.”

“We’re getting old,” quipped Golding.

“Yeah, so if we want to pull off these stunts and fights, we need to get cracking!” Kenzari concluded.

In a recent interview with ScreenRant, director Victoria Mahoney defended her decision to end on such a cliffhanger, saying that she cares about “what’s occurring with the characters in any given moment.” Mahoney continued, “That’s all I’m chasing. That it happens to be a cliffhanger, that it involves some stuff that may make some people happy, and some people pissed off, that’s not my circus. I’m just trying to do it honestly and earnestly. I stand behind it.”

However, Mahoney did not respond when asked about what that cliffhanger meant for the future of the franchise.

If The Old Guard 2 is a big hit for Netflix, it’s likely that the streamer will order up The Old Guard 3. However, given that the streamer dragged its feet releasing this sequel—in part because of regime changes at Netflix, according to Theron—it’s also possible that, if The Old Guard 2 is not a hit, we might not see The Old Guard 3 movie happen at all. At least, not at Netflix.

What is The Old Guard 3 release date on Netflix?

The Old Guard 3 movie does not have a release date, because it has not even been officially green lit yet. We don’t even know if the movie is going to happen!

However, if the movie does happen, we’d guess it’d be at least a year or two, or more, before you get to see The Old Guard 3. Even if the movie were to be green lit tomorrow, it would not be able to go into production ASAP, given that star Charlize Theron is currently still in production on Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey film. He’s not a director who is known for quick shoots.

Theron is also starring in and producing another action film for Netflix, Apex, which began filming in Australia in February. Theron is also attached to, Atomic Blonde 2, which is in development, and an upcoming heist film with Daniel Craig for Apple. In other words, your girl is booked and busy. It seems unlikely Theron would be available for The Old Guard 3 production until next year, which would likely mean—again, if the movie is green lit—you wouldn’t see The Old Guard 3 on Netflix until late next year, 2026, or even summer 2027.

This is all speculation. We don’t even know if The Old Guard 3 movie will happen. But we can certainly hope. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see.
