The Old Guard 2 finally answers a question fans have been asking since the end of the first film: is Andy still immortal? The sequel doesn’t just address it, it makes her journey from mortal to immortal again one of the film’s most emotional arcs.
Does Andy aka Andromache become immortal again in The Old Guard 2?
The answer lies with Booker. Throughout the sequel, Andy fights as a mortal, vulnerable for the first time in centuries. But when the group is ambushed at a nuclear facility and things spiral, Booker makes a life-altering decision. Tired of eternal life and wanting to make things right after past mistakes, he asks Nile to wound him, knowing it’ll strip him of his powers.
He finds Andy and, without words, transfers his immortality to her. Just like that, Andy’s healing kicks back in, just in time for her final face-off with Discord. Booker’s choice is permanent. He gives up his power, and not long after, he dies fighting to protect her. This is how Andy aka Andromache becomes immortal again in The Old Guard 2.
For those unversed in how she lost it in the first place? In The Old Guard 2, it is shown that Andy lost her immortality because of a wound she got from Nile during the events of the first film.
As it turns out, Nile isn’t just any immortal; she’s what the lore calls the “Last Immortal.” Her injuries can take away another immortal’s healing ability. This unexpected power makes her central to the film’s plot and explains why Andy suddenly started aging.
Now, with her immortality restored in The Old Guard 2, Andy is ready to take the fight to Discord. The film ends with a cliffhanger: Discord escapes with the captured immortals, and Andy joins forces with a now-mortal Quynh to go after them. It’s a full-circle moment as Andy is back to being the warrior she was, but now with a stronger purpose and a better understanding of what being immortal really means.
