The Old Guard 2 currently edges War of the Worlds 53–47
Immortal action takes the lead over sci-fi invasion in 2025's early bracket.
The Verdict Class of 2025
Theron's physicality in the Old Guard films — the axe work, the close-quarters combat staged with a brutality that feels earned rather than choreographed — gives Mahoney a lead performer whose screen presence can carry a film past its structural limitations. At 53 to 47, voters are responding to the sequel's known quantity: Theron's commitment is a guarantee, and in a matchup between a guarantee and a gamble, the guarantee is leading.
