Based on an exclusive interview with the cast, the article reveals the new, "epic" weapons the main characters will wield in The Old Guard 2. The central theme behind the new arsenal is to "go big, but make it personal," with each weapon reflecting the character's emotional journey and evolution since the first film.

Here’s a breakdown of the new weapons for each character:

• Andy (Charlize Theron): After her iconic labrys (double-headed axe) broke, she now wields a massive, single-bladed, two-handed battle axe. Theron explains the weapon is more "brutal" and "singular" in its purpose, reflecting an angrier, more splintered Andy who is grappling with her mortality.
• Nile (KiKi Layne): Now fully integrated into the team, Nile has a custom, futuristic rifle. This weapon shows her growth from using whatever was available to choosing a sleek, advanced weapon that suits her modern military background.
• Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts): Returning from exile, Booker carries a heavy, two-handed greatsword (a zweihänder). The weapon is described as a "statement piece" that reflects the immense weight, loneliness, and burden his character carries.
• Joe (Marwan Kenzari) & Nicky (Luca Marinelli): As a reflection of their inseparable bond, they now fight with a set of matching, intricately designed daggers. The cast explains the weapons are like "puzzle pieces" that are delicate but deadly, symbolizing how they fight as one and are an extension of each other.

In short, the article highlights that the weapons in the sequel are not just props but key storytelling tools designed to visually represent the characters' personal development and the expanded scale of the film.
