448: Director Victoria Mahoney of 'The Old Guard 2'
BGN interviews Victoria Mahoney for the Netflix film 'The Old Guard 2'.
Victoria Mahoney is one of the few Black women directing a Netflix action blockbuster taking on the reigns after Gina Prince-Bythewood directed the first film. She worked as second-unit director on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and made her debut feature Yelling to the Sky.
The Old Guard 2 builds on its predecessor with a darker, more urgent storyline: the stakes are personal (Andy can now die), the mythology expands (immortals’ origins), and relationships are tested—from Quynh’s vengeance to Joe & Nicky’s bonds. With global action and new threats, the sequel aims to balance action spectacle with emotional resonance, all under Mahoney’s focused direction.
