Charlize Theron is ready to take on another action role - this time in Netflix's adaptation of Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez's comic book/ graphic novel "The Old Guard", and the streaming service has provided a first look at the actress as Andromache of Scythia, aka "Andy".
The plot synopsis goes like this:
Led by a warrior named Andy (Charlize Theron), a covert group of tight-knit mercenaries with a mysterious inability to die have fought to protect the mortal world for centuries. But when the team is recruited to take on an emergency mission and their extraordinary abilities are suddenly exposed, it’s up to Andy and Nile (Kiki Layne), the newest soldier to join their ranks, to help the group eliminate the threat of those who seek to replicate and monetize their power by any means necessary. Based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Greg Rucka and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (LOVE & BASKETBALL, BEYOND THE LIGHTS), THE OLD GUARD is a gritty, grounded, action-packed story that shows living forever is harder than it looks.
Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, "The Old Guard" premieres on Netflix on July 10.
