July 2 - The Old Guard 2
Call us crazy, but we almost forgot about this sequel! The 2020 original was a major hit, and we're stoked to see what's next for the immortal warriors. Victoria Mahoney directs the talented cast of Charlize Theron, Henry Golding, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Uma Thurman, and more. This time, the gang's still busy protecting the world, but they've got some complications to deal with, including old enemies resurfacing and the mysterious secret to eternal life. Buckle up for some serious butt-kicking action!
July 10 - Brick
