IMMORTAL HEROES

THE OLD GUARD Netflix

■ HERE’S that rarest of things, a superhero movie that’s not lifted from the pages of DC or Marvel comics, but instead inspired by a series of graphic novels. Charlize Theron is an ancient warrior called Andromache of Scythia who is constantly reborn to lead a band of fellow immortals in the fight against evil and corruption in the world. In the 21st century she’s reborn as Andy, but has she still got the appetite for the never-ending fight?
