Everything New to HBO Max for May 2021

To kick things off this month, Christopher Nolan’s Tenet will make its streaming debut on HBO Max on May 1. And if you missed the initial release of Wonder Woman 1984, you’ll be able to catch Diana Prince in action on May 13.

HBO Max will also be home to a new film from director Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, Sicario) on May 14, titled Those Who Wish Me Dead. This new thriller starring Oscar-winner Angelina Jolie centers on “a smokejumper reeling from the loss of three lives she failed to save from a fire, who comes across a traumatized 12‐year‐old boy with nowhere else to turn,” according to a logline from Warner Bros.

You can watch the action-packed trailer for Those Who Wish Me Dead in the video below:
