The Suicide Squad, Titans season 3, and more on HBO Max in August
By Lacy Baugher
A new month means an exciting batch of new content is arriving on HBO Max! As has been the case for much of 2021 thus far, the big news for the streamer is the simultaneous release of a big theatrical property on the same day that it arrives in theaters. This month, one of the most highly anticipated releases arrives – James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad.
The film borrows its name and several of its characters from David Ayers’ DC film Suicide Squad, but looks to expand the world of the franchise even further by adding in fan favorite Harley Quinn alongside several new faces like King Shark, John Cena’s Peacemaker, and Peter Capaldi’s Thinker. It arrives on August 5 in both theaters and on the HBO Max platform.
The Hugh Jackman-led film Reminiscence will also arrive on HBO Max the same day it does in theaters, hitting screens and streams on August 20.
Elsewhere the third season of popular DC Universe turned Max Original series Titans premieres on August 12, which will see the team relocate to Gotham and Jason Todd become Red Hood. And the second season of former Comedy Central comedy will make its official debut as an HBO Max Original on August 26.
