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. War of the Worlds has scale and concept but is still establishing whether its execution matches its ambition. 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. Signal from 45 votes — the kind of early data that could move either direction.
