How Did Andy Lose Her Immortality Before The Old Guard 2?
The Old Guard 2 recently released its official trailer. With the film steadily approaching its July release date, fans have begun having questions about the first film — one of them being 'How did Andromache aka Andy lose her immortality?' Like the previous film, The Old Guard 2 is based on Greg Rucka's comic book series of the same name. Rucka, who had written the screenplay of the first film, reprises writing duties for the second installment.
So how did Charlize Theron's Andy aka Andromache lose her immortality in The Old Guard? Here's what you need to know.
The specifics of how Andy lost her immortality in The Old Guard are unknown. This is because the film doesn't give a definite answer.
In the first film, Andy learns about her immortality's loss after receiving a stab wound that doesn't heal the way it used to. Booker shoots her, revealing this new development. Additionally, characters around Andy question the source behind her immortality loss. However, the film itself does not explore the reason behind it or go into specifics concerning it.
Moreover, the immortals believed that their immortality would only be active for a fixed amount of time, and once that time passed, it would start fading.
The comics that The Old Guard films are based on do not explain why Andy was losing her immortality. They also have not explored crucial details surrounding it. This is by design, according to creator Greg Rucka, who explained the same in a Polygon interview.
'That was something that I had no interest in exploring in the comic,' Rucka said. 'I didn't want to waste time or real estate, because comic book pages — that's your premium, that's what you're spending to tell the story.'
However, Rucka did acknowledge how he and the other creatives were 'a little more obligated to at least promise answers to questions,' since they were making a film.
More questions surrounding Andy's immortality and its loss are addressed in The Old Guard 2's official trailer. These questions will most likely be answered when the film comes out.

Charlize Theron's Andy Fights Quynh in a 500 Year Old Battle in New Clip From THE OLD GUARD 2 — GeekTyrant
Netflix has released a new clip from the upcoming sequel The Old Guard 2 , in which we get to see Charlize Theron's character Andy and Veronica Ngo's Quynh go head to head in a battle that's 500 years in the making. Theron talked about the plot of the film, and her character's change from the first movie, in a recent interview where she stated, "The stakes have never been higher. Andy is mortal now, so there's a very real possibility that she could die during any mission this time around." The first film concluded with significant shifts in the group's dynamic: Andy (Theron) lost her immortality, Nile (KiKi Layne) gained it, and Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) was exiled. The film's full synopsis reads: '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.' Check out the new clip below, and watch The Old Guard 2 when it's released on Netflix on July 2nd.

A Lucky Seven List Of All-Time Rangers Hustlers
If you are enjoying the Stanley Cup Final, by now it must be apparent that the Panthers and Oilers have HUSTLE written all over them. Special Kudos to aging vets Corey Perry of Edmonton and Brad Marchand of Florida. Advertisement Over the years, the Ranger roster was sprinkled with Marchand-types who never stopped skating. The Maven's All-Time Rangers hustlers appear here in Chronological time: The Best Rangers Hustlers On The Team Currently The Best Rangers Hustlers On The Team Currently Enough with the talk about the deadwood core. Here's a short list of The Maven's favorite TRY HARD GUYS. 1. PHIL WATSON: It wasn't that "Phiery Phil" set up the 1940 Stanley Cup-winning goal for New York in 1940, but that didn't hurt. Watson's big mouth churned away as fast as his skates. Phil never wore a sign that read: BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED! 2. DEAN PRENTICE: Shamefully, the Hockey Hall of Fame has ignored one of the most consistent left wingers in history. Hall Of Fame right wing Andy Bathgate would have been the first to claim that Dean's hard work led to AB's HOF nomination. Advertisement 3. ANDY HEBENTON: GM Muzz Patrick's greatest discovery, Hebby was toiling with Tacoma in the Western League when Muzz signed him as a winger for the 1955-56 season. Andy scored a huge OT goal for New York and became an NHL iron man. 4. RED SULLIVAN: Nobody in Sully's time had more go-go in his system than the center who would become captain. Red was a ferret on the spoor of a hot puck and one of his other favorite targets was the Habs goalie; whenever Jacques Plante wandered. 5. LARRY POPEIN: Before Bathgate became a superstar, Andy needed a crafty center to help launch his career. "Pope" was the perfect pivot; as well as a superior skater who "read" Bathgate's moves as well as any. 6. JOHNNY WILSON: Once the dynamo behind Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay on the Dynastic Detroit Red Wings, Wilson – yet another iron man – was a hero on the 1961-62 Ranger club that made the playoffs under player-coach Doug Harvey. 7. NICK MICKOSKI: Groomed with the Rangers Eastern Amateur Hockey League's New York Rovers, "Bashful Nick Ready Top Click" wore his number 11 proudly. The Winnipeger's hustle did not result in any All-Star nominations but the fans – Maven included – loved the guy!
