Following the premieres of Godzilla vs. Kong and Zack Snyder’s Justice League in March, HBO Max has more great sci-fi debuts in store for April.

Here are the 6 best sci-fi shows and movies coming to HBO Max in April 2021.

6. The New Mutants (2020) — April 10

Whether its low budget or studio meddling is to blame, this X-Men spinoff doesn’t live up to its forebears. Still, its unique horror twist on superheroes makes it worthwhile for those tired of the usual heroics.

5. Sneakers (1992) — April 1

While it’s much more down-to-Earth than most movie portrayals of hackers, this computer crime caper keeps things fun and light, thanks to its excellent cast and sense of humor.

4. The Dark Knight Rises (2012) — April 17

Destined to live in the shadow of The Dark Knight, the stunning finale to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy is heading to HBO Max in mid-April.

3. The Nevers (2021) — April 11

A disparate group of mostly women in Victorian London gain superpowers in this original series, which follows the fight to protect the newly empowered from those who hate and fear them.

2. Infinity Train Season 4 (2021) — April 15

Helmed by The Regular Show writer Owen Dennis, this complex and gorgeous cartoon about characters battling their inner demons while on a mystical endless train will air its final season this month.

1. Mortal Kombat (2021) — April 16

The long-awaited reboot of one of the best video game movies ever finally premieres on HBO Max.
