The Old Guard - Review || Fighting to the Death, and Beyond.

'The Old Guard' ending left key plot points up in the air

One of those loose ends is the group punishing Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) for selling out the team. It's decided that he is to go into exile and can't rejoin them for 100 years. That leads to an emotional goodbye between Andy and Booker. Since she's likely now mortal, the exile means they may never see each other again.

A sequel would also let us explore the evolution of Nile's character. It's clear the new immortal member is special. If the sequel were set a few years or a decade into the future, it would be fascinating to watch how Nile has become even more skilled than she already was in the first movie.

And then there's Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Andy takes a liking to the former CIA agent's impressive research into the group's work over the centuries. Andy believes Copley can serve a purpose — he's the only one who fully appreciates how the lives they've saved have shaped humanity to what it is today.
