I recently bought some film that was expired and was not prepared for the magenta color shifts. Any tips or presets that I can use to batch these?

With my GIMP colour-cast-reduction plug-in I get these results. I doubt any method will produce anything significantly better unfortunately.

I used rgb levels + color zones + color calibration to fix the colors,
also I’ve used common modules to add some contrast and reduce the noise:
