Two of Warner Bros.‘ big summer movies premieres on HBO Max in August. In The Suicide Squad, James Gunn reinvents the DC Comics super-villain team with a mostly new cast (including Idris Elba and John Cena) and a new attitude. A few weeks later, Lisa Joy, the co-creator of Westworld, makes her feature directorial debut with Reminiscence, a futuristic noir about Hugh Jackman as a guy in world where technology always people to relive their old memories.

There’s also a new Looney Tunes special, the series finale of The White Lotus, and the premiere of FBoy Island, a reality show that requires no further explanation. Plus, if you missed Godzilla vs. Kong in its first run on HBO Max, it returns in August as well.
