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.
