Director: Victoria Mahoney
Starring: Charlize Theron, KiKi Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts, Uma Thurman,
Chiwetel Ejiofor

Immortality has its pitfalls: The fighters of the "Old Guard" already experienced this firsthand in the first part of the comic adaptation five years ago. Starting Monday, the stars around Charlize Theron continue in "The Old Guard 2": The group of immortal warriors faces a new threat in Victoria Mahoney's film, which comes from within their own ranks.

First and foremost, however, leader Andy (Theron) must deal with her suddenly occurring mortality. Not the ideal time, as the mysterious Discord (Uma Thurman) appears, a powerful adversary who would like to end human rule on Earth. KiKi Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Chiwetel Ejiofor also star. Once again, Greg Rucka's comic of the same name served as the template for the action-packed all-round strike.

Sandman (July 3) Original Title: The Sandman
Series Finale (Season 2 / 12 Episodes)
Approx. 45 min/episode
UK/USA 2025
Director: Jamie Childs
Starring: Tom Sturridge, Adrian Lester, Steve Coogan, Clive Russell, Boyd
Holbrook

Into the dream world: In July, Netflix's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's legendary comic series "Sandman" reaches its finale. The total of twelve episodes are divided into two main sections and a special, which are based on templates like "Seasons of Mist" or "The Kindly Ones." The role of the melancholic but powerful ruler of dreams and their creatures is once again taken on by Briton Tom Sturridge, who already made a good impression in Season 1.

However, not everything runs smoothly in his realm: Having had to reclaim his rightful place after over 100 years of captivity, this did not happen without complications. On one hand, his siblings, the Endless, make his existence difficult, and on the other hand, he recently clashed with Lucifer, who has sworn revenge. In any case, one can expect mystical figures and obscure locations, as Gaiman has colorfully mixed fairy tales, legends, and literary classics for his magnum opus - but in a way that particularly emphasizes the dark and sinister.

The Narrow Road To The Deep North (July 1)
Miniseries (5 Episodes)
AUS/USA 2025
Director: Justin Kurzel
Starring: Jacob Elordi, Ciarán Hinds, Odessa Young, Olivia DeJonge, Simon
Baker
www.sky.at/serien/the-narrow-road-to-the-deep-north (with Trailer)

During World War II, Australian officer Dorrigo Evans (Jacob Elordi) is captured as a prisoner of war by the Japanese. Like the other prisoners, he is forced to advance the construction of the Thai-Burma Railway through inhumane forced labor. In this dire situation, Dorrigo dreams himself back to the fatal love for Amy (Odessa Young), his uncle's wife, in the miniseries by Justin Kurzel. "The Narrow Road To The Deep North" is available from July 1 on Sky.

The five-part series is based on the novel by Richard Flanagan and ultimately takes place across three time periods. On one hand, it depicts the horrors of the camp and the desperate struggle of army doctor Dorrigo to save the lives of his allied fellow prisoners. On the other hand, it narrates the life story of the former medical student before the war and later surgeon in 1980s Sydney, who, despite being married to Ella Evans, can never leave behind the brief but intense affair with his aunt by marriage.

Juror #2 (July 4)
Feature Film
114 min
USA 2024
Director: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, Chris Messina, J.K. Simmons,
Kiefer Sutherland
www.jurornumber2movie.net (with Trailer)

A man caught between guilt and innocence, morality and immorality. It sounds like the material for one of the Westerns and action films like "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964) or "Dirty Harry" (1971), with which the American Clint Eastwood once became famous as an actor. But like many of the films he has directed over the past four decades, "Juror #2" offers much more than good entertainment. Available from Friday on Sky.

At the center of the story is magazine writer Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult). He is called to serve as a juror in a murder trial. A hothead is accused of killing a woman. Prosecutor Faith Killebrew (Toni Collette) considers the case clear-cut and wants to conclude it quickly. However, defense attorney Erik Resnick (Chris Messina) believes in the defendant's innocence. And Justin suddenly faces the question of whether he himself unknowingly bears responsibility for the woman's death. Can he remain silent and possibly deprive an innocent person of their freedom?

Streaming Starts on Amazon Prime Video

Heads Of State (July 2)
Feature Film
115 min
USA 2025
Director: Ilya Naishuller
Starring: Idris Elba, John Cena, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Carla Gugino,
Jack Quaid
Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7uezAWpzVI

The diplomatic relations between the USA and the UK are at a low point. The reason: US President Will Derringer (John Cena), a former action star, and Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) cannot stand each other. And just these two top politicians must work together when an attack is made on their plane. The action comedy "Heads of State" is available from Wednesday on Amazon Prime.

The two state leaders survive the crash of their plane largely unscathed - but are now reliant on themselves without their security forces. The conspiracy that threatens their lives is, however, in full swing. And so the two men, who actually dislike each other, must band together to save the world's safety, soon receiving support from MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) in the feature film by Ilya Naishuller.
