The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta gave The Old Guard 3 stars. She wrote in her review, “The Old Guard feels different from the standard superhero cookie-cutter dross is that it adds a dollop of queerness to the proceedings. Two of the ‘immortals’ are Joe and Nicky a couple of guys who met each other during the Crusades, and have been together since. They are jokey and tender with each other, and no less the men for it. And the third, Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) who looks more like a professor than a member of a superhero group, uses his brain as much as brawn.”

The Old Guard began streaming on July 10.
