Netflix has released a brand new The Old Guard trailer for Gina Prince-Blythewood’s forthcoming action fantasy film, featuring new footage of some of the film’s intense action sequences while also highlighting the team’s bond throughout the hundreds of years of fighting together.

Based on Greg Rucka and artist Leandro Fernandez’s comic book of the same name, The Old Guard tells of a small group of soldiers, led by a woman named Andromache of Scythia or Andy, who are inexplicably immortal and have been working as mercenaries through the ages. But in the 21st century, the novelty of not dying is long gone as the group gets a jolt in their bones when they discover the existence of a new immortal, a black woman serving in the Marines, at the same time as a nefarious organization captures their undying actions on camera.
