Uma Thurman Discusses Return in The Old Guard 2

Uma Thurman, best known for her role in Kill Bill, took a deliberate break from action films after the franchise to avoid typecasting and protect her legacy, as she discussed during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She sought out roles that challenged her as an actor and was inspired to return to action by Charlize Theron's performance in the first Old Guard film, which she found unique and moving. In The Old Guard 2, Thurman plays a villain opposite Theron, praising her co-star's talent and welcoming the chance to both support and battle her on screen. Thurman enjoyed playing a 'particularly funny bad guy' and appreciated the sequel's character-driven approach. She admitted to having minimal training for the film, humorously recalling how to wield a sword on set. Thurman also indicated that a third Kill Bill film is unlikely, but teased the possibility of more sequels for The Old Guard.
