The Old Guard is currently attracting a large following on Netflix. Since the film’s debut, many fans have praised lead actress Charlize Theron, but she also shares the spotlight with a few supporting players. These include a gay couple played by Luca Marinelli and Marwan Kenzari, whose characters, Nicky and Joe, were not only intimate on-screen, but also powerful warriors rather than one-dimensional love interests.
Netflix, knowing full-well how to cash in on representing a minority group in a major action blockbuster, recently shared a tweet in which they celebrated the couple’s popularity with audiences.
“When they say love is eternal,” it reads, “they’re talking about Joe and Nicky.” Of course, the phrase itself is a play on the film’s plot, which focuses on a group of immortal mercenaries, led by Theron’s Andy.
