Subscribers will also have access to Warner Bros. movies such as Barbie, Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom, and Wonka, plus The Last of Us, The White Lotus, Euphoria and True Detective: Night Country. Upcoming Max Originals include Batman spin-off The Penguin and Welcome to Derry, based on Stephen King’s IT. Films from Warner Bros.’s library including the Harry Potter franchise, Paddington, The Matrix, The Dark Knight, Joker, and The Lord of the Rings will also be on offer.
