You want action, Netflix subscribers? You got it. At least, that is what the new trailer for Old Guard 2 implies. We get a lot of Charlize Theron's Andy shooting guns, making her karate moves, and looking pretty impressive.

The good part is that the trailer doesn't have Andy as the only intimidating female actor. Uma Thurman, who plays antagonist Discord, is featured quite a bit in the trailer and is Kill Bill-era awesome.

If you like bad guys and gals, that is. What is certain is that Andy will not have an easy time facing off against Discord. The trailer tells us that Thurman's character knows everything she needs to know about her adversaries, so she has the advantage. Andy and her immortal warrior pals must plan some sneak attack.

Just released trailer for Old Guard 2 looks amazing

Oddly, what the synopsis attached the trailer (which you can see below) doesn't mention much is Discord. The trailer implies otherwise in terms of screen time. Much of what we see from Thurman is possibly in the tease for the film, but why do that to us? Don't show us all the good parts.

That is likely not the case, though. We just got a peek into what will occur, and it all looks so good.

What is the plot of Old Guard 2?

Netflix's Tudum explains the plot this way:

"Andy (Charlize Theron) and her team of immortal warriors are back, with a renewed sense of purpose in their mission to protect the world. With Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) still in exile after his betrayal, and Quynh (Veronica Ngô) out for revenge after escaping her underwater prison, Andy grapples with her newfound mortality as a mysterious threat emerges that could jeopardize everything she’s worked towards for thousands of years. Andy, Nile (KiKi Layne), Joe (Marwan Kenzari), Nicky (Luca Marinelli) and James Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) enlist the help of Tuah (Henry Golding), an old friend who may provide the key to unlocking the mystery behind immortal existence."

Again, there is not a lot of discussion about Discord, but the trailer says otherwise. What we can see in the tease is so terrific that we better not be misled. Andy versus Discord is a popcorn movie great.

The movie, directed by Victoria Mahoney and based on the graphic novels by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernández, will be available on Netflix on July 2.
