Charlize Theron cuts a casual figure in a T-shirt and patterned jeans after enjoying sushi with pals in Los Angeles

Charlize Theron cut a nonchalant figure as she left a restaurant in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon.

The 48-year-old actress stayed comfortable in a white T-shirt and patterned jeans as she chatted with a friend after they stopped for some sushi.

The Academy Award-winning artist – who recently took her kids on a trip to Disney World – also wore a pair of sneakers and a tote bag, both of which matched her white top.

Theron added dark elements to her look with a leather handbag and chic black sunglasses.

The South African-born beauty’s blonde hair was partially tied back, although several strands fell down the sides of her face.

The performer is currently preparing for the release of the upcoming action film The Old Guard 2, in which she will play the lead role.

The film is based on the comic book series of the same name, created by Leandro Fernandez and Greg Rucka, the latter of whom wrote the screenplay for the feature film.

The first Old Guard film debuted on the Netflix streaming service in July 2020.

The feature film focused on a group of near-immortal mercenaries who came into conflict with a biotech entrepreneur.

Theron, who also serves as one of the film’s producers, will reprise her role as Andy, aka Andromache of Scythia, in the upcoming film.

Other stars from the first film, including KiKi Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts and Chiwetel Ejiofor, return for the sequel.

It was revealed that Netflix had officially greenlit a sequel to The Old Guard in January 2021, with Victoria Mahoney signed on to direct later that year.

Production on the film began in June 2022 and ended in September.

The Old Guard 2 will be released on Netflix at an unspecified time in the future

Schoenaerts recently talked about the release of the feature film and stated that staff changes at Netflix were likely responsible for the fact that the film had not yet been released.

He stated via Collider: ‘From what I understand, I think there has been a switch at Netflix at the top. I think there’s a different CEO, so that leads to a rethink of the release, and how and when, and that’s not up to me.”

The artist added, “I know we’re in the final stages of post-production, so it will be out at some point.”

So far, the release date of The Old Guard 2 has not been announced.
