Deadline reported that Chiwetel Ejiofor, Harry Melling and Ngo Thanh Van are the three latest names added to The Old Guard. This is an action-fantasy film project produced by Netflix. The online film platform later confirmed the information.

Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, who wrote Beyond the Lights, The Old Guard is currently filming at Pinewood Studios in London, England. The project has previously been confirmed to feature Charlize Theron, KiKi Layne, Marwan Kenzari, Matthias Schoenaerts and Luca Marinelli.

Based on the graphic novel series created by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernández, The Old Guard follows a group of immortal mercenaries who band together after discovering a new immortal and their own abilities are exposed to the masses.

The Old Guard marks the second time Ngo Thanh Van has participated in a project directly produced by Netflix. In 2017, she appeared in Bright alongside Will Smith and Joel Edgerton. The film is also an action-fantasy film, and Ngo Thanh Van plays a small villain in the film.

The Old Guard has not yet revealed exactly what roles the new actors will play in the film. Therefore, the audience will have to wait for further information, or the trailer of the work to know the role of the Vietnamese actress in the project.

Besides the two works produced by Netflix, Ngo Thanh Van also played supporting roles in two other Hollywood films: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2 (2016) and the blockbuster Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017).
