Netflix’s new, high-octane action film, The Old Guard starring Charlize Theron, Kiki Layne, and more has just launched last July 10. Netflix tapped 15 talented artists from around the world to interpret the movie and its characters in their own unique artistic style. All 15 artworks were shared by @oldguardmovie on Instagram.
For the Philippines, Netflix worked with Cebu-based graphic illustrator, Ken Hensly, who captured the movie’s action and excitement in his surrealistic signature style.
With a keen eye for detail, Ken takes inspiration from old comics, cartoons, animation, and street design. He also has his own streetwear company called Kensuke Creations, and designs merchandise and artwork for other international brands.

About The Old Guard:
Led by a warrior named Andy (Charlize Theron), a covert group of tight-knit mercenaries with a mysterious inability to die have fought to protect the mortal world for centuries. But when the team is recruited to take on an emergency mission and their extraordinary abilities are suddenly exposed, it’s up to Andy and Nile (Kiki Layne), the newest soldier to join their ranks, to help the group eliminate the threat of those who seek to replicate and monetize their power by any means necessary. Based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Greg Rucka and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (LOVE & BASKETBALL, BEYOND THE LIGHTS), THE OLD GUARD is a gritty, grounded, action-packed story that shows living forever is harder than it looks.
