Marwan Kenzari Joins S2 Netflix’s The Night Agent!
Kenzari plays Reza, a decorated soldier court marshalled for another man’s crime, who’s been given the opportunity to be a night agent. Fiercely intelligent, with a wry sense of humor and a trigger temper, he doesn’t hesitate to become violent or lethal when backed into a corner.
Kenzari is best known for roles on the film side, having most recently been seen in Black Adam and Apple TV+’s Ghosted. Other feature credits include The Old Guard, Aladdin, Murder on the Orient Express and The Mummy, to name a few.

do you guys remember the Old Guard. remember when there was a major mainstream hollywood action scifi motion picture starring hot women with guns where gay people kissed on the mouth passionately. and the movie was both critically and financially successful. that movie feels like a fucking fever dream. i'll never achieve the high i got when that movie came out ever again

You're a child. An infant. Your mocking is thus infantile. He's not my boyfriend. This man is more to me than you can dream. He's the moon when I'm lost in darkness and warmth when I shiver in cold. And his kiss still thrills me, even after a millennia. His heart overflows with a kindness of which this world is not worth of. I love this man beyond measure and reason. He's not my boyfriend. He's all and he's more.

hi! you're great I love your work! I've got a weirdly specific archery question and thought I'd send it to you in case you'd find it fun to have a crack at
say you're an expert archer originally from Vietnam sometime in the late bronze age. say you're a super duper expert archer because it turns out you're immortal, and so you do your archery across Eurasia through the first millennium BCE and the first millennium CE and into the age where gunpowder weapons are evolving into cannons. that's a long time to be alive and you do lots of hunting and fighting with all kinds of bows and shooting styles, especially war archery on horseback. then you're out of the picture for a while, let's say you're peacefully sleeping for a handful of centuries. (this is about Quynh from The Old Guard who alas was not peacefully sleeping)
all of a sudden you blink and you've gone from the era where firearms were just starting to develop and maybe with this new flintlock thing guns could eventually get good enough to rival a bow and arrows— bam, now you're in the 21st century. what kinds of modern archery tech would you be most excited to try out? what would you think of a compound bow? Olympic style archery? plastic fletching?? how about the modern reproductions of what are now considered historical bows and shooting styles? is there anything about 21st century archery that you'd want to rant about at length? other opinions about these newfangled takes on your trusty old bow and arrows you care to share?
This is a phenomenal question, and thank you for asking it! Here’s my 2 cents:
The thing about modern archery is that for the most part, modern bows are designed to make it easier to be accurate, to the stage that modern target accuracy is probably better than it’s ever been historically.
BUT, if we assume Quynh is capable of feats of archery that match the level of melee combat skill that e.g. Andy has, then she doesn’t NEED it to be easier to be accurate.
My guess is that someone like her would actually find most modern archery developments needlessly slow and awkward. Compound bows and Olympic recurves are NOT designed for instinctive, fast shooting, and would probably feel quite restrictive once she got over how easy they made accuracy.
BUT, I imagine she would be blown away by the range and arrow speed that modern bows can generate, and there are some recurves (and at least one compound bow), that have been designed to make use of the efficiency of modern materials and bow design, while still allowing traditional shooting styles, and those, THOSE are something an ancient immortal archer might fall in love with! (FWIW, my own go-to is a horsebow made with carbon-fibre limbs and a modern limb profile, and for impact energy it can match some traditional bows with a draw weight that’s 50% greater. The Oneida eagle compound could trump that).
So yeah, it might take her a bit, but once she gets her hands on the right equipment, she’d be (even more) TERRIFYING!

I really love the baklava scene in the old guard, in fact the whole opening scene because it establishes their characters and their relationships so much! Like Andy and Booker don’t hug when they meet, but she’s got Don Quixote for him and he checks in with her about her year out. Booker says he’s in Marrakesh for family at the hotel. Andy hugs Nicky so tenderly and slow it shows the depth of their love for each other, just as Joe giving her a great old bear hug and swinging her around and joking with her shows their relationship too. Booker spikes his own tea, showing he’s hurting, even amongst family and none of them comment on it, showing how they’ve let it slide. Nicky has baklava for Andy, but it’s also for Booker it’s their game together. Even before we know that Joe and Nicky are together, we know that Joe puts up Nicky’s half of the bet money. They’re all so comfortable with each other, and joyful too!
Like in some films we’re shown a team *cough* marvel *cough* and they’re supposed to be close so that later it can be messed with and played around with for kicks and drama but often it’s not believable because there’s no genuine love there, just manufactured and wooden. Here in the first scene we’re left with, firstly a great first impression of each of their characters, but more importantly we’re in no doubt that these 4 aren’t just work colleagues, no Andy, Joe, Nicky, and Booker love each other so much, they’re family, and that’s what makes the emotional pay off so much more heartbreaking later.
