“The Old Guard.” Available Friday, this comic book adaptation stars Charlize Theron as the leader of a group of ancient immortals who have found another teammate in a soldier played by KiKi Layne (“If Beale Street Could Talk”).
It’s directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, who also helmed “Love & Basketball” and the criminally underseen “Beyond the Lights” (currently available on Kanopy).
And it’s a step above your average summer blockbuster. “Palm Springs”: If a rom-com is more your speed, there’s also “Palm Springs,” on Hulu Friday, starring Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti as wedding guests who find themselves caught in a time-loop.
