Making Netflix's 'The Old Guard' brought Charlize Theron and Kiki Layne together for an action-adventure tale that mirrored their dynamic onscreen and off-.
“Are you kidding me? Oh my goodness, I thought she was going to kick my ass,” said Layne. “I mean, that day I was just kinda like, ‘Really guys, I already have first-day jitters, but now my first day is this? I’m going to get on this tiny airplane and I’m going to fight Charlize Theron. What?’“But looking back on it, I’m actually very grateful for it, just because I think it gave Charlize and I a great place to start off in really building this relationship between Andy and Nile,” Layne added.
The production company Skydance came to Prince-Bythewood with “The Old Guard” almost exactly when “Silver & Black” was shut down. The filmmaker found many of the same themes and ideas to grab onto in the new project. “I talked to Kiki a lot about how her training for this film was going to be a big part of her rehearsal and building the character,” said Prince-Bythewood. “When you’re thrust into that unknown, training is so incredibly hard to do. And she was doing two-a-days, five days a week, for months. But the building of her body, the building of her swagger, her confidence, was absolutely part of her rehearsal.
“I think our relationship was one of encouragement,” Theron said. “You need encouragement when you do this stuff because it’s tedious and you have to be consistent with it. And the biggest part of it is just actually showing up every single day. If you have somebody else who’s doing that, then it definitely, like, puts a little fire under your ass and you do more of it.
