Uma Thurman Returns Action Films With The Old Guard 2

Uma Thurman revealed that she took a long break from action movies after her iconic role in the Kill Bill franchise to preserve her legacy and avoid being typecast in lower-quality 'B' action films. She expressed that the pressure following Kill Bill made her cautious about her next projects, leading her to explore other types of roles. Thurman is now making a thoughtful return to the action genre with The Old Guard 2, where she plays a villain alongside Charlize Theron, whom she praised as 'phenomenal' and 'incredible.' She described the first Old Guard film as unique and moving, which influenced her decision to join the sequel and 'put my toe into action again.' Despite her role, Thurman admitted she did not undergo extensive training for the film and found playing the villain fun, especially as a 'particularly funny bad guy.' While she teased the possibility of future sequels, she indicated that a third Kill Bill film is unlikely.
