Summer Viewing Guide Picks: The Old Guard

Platform: Netflix

Premiere Date: July 10th

Cast: Charlize Theron, Kiki Layne, Harry Melling, Chiwetel Ejiofor

Premise: Based on the Image comic created by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez, The Old Guard follows a group of immortal warriors, including a gay male couple, who have the ability to be reincarnated. They find themselves in the modern-day world, still fighting the forces of evil, but growing weary of their live, die, repeat cycle.

The discovery of a newly “activated” immortal snaps them out of their malaise, as this is the first time in over a millennia that someone new has joined their ranks. The group eventually catches the eye of a historian working for the CIA (Ejiofor) and a pharmatech executive (Melling) who want to turn the group into a moneymaking opportunity.
