There has been more shuffling of titles and dates since my spring preview in March (such as Marvel’s “Black Widow” moving to July 9 and “Free Guy” moving to Dec. 11).
Here’s an updated look at what’s coming to theaters (and online) for the rest of spring (as always, things could change, though):
“Mortal Kombat” — This reboot of the franchise based on the popular video game has an MMA fighter seeking out Earth’s greatest champions in a high stakes battle for the universe. Fight! Indeed. (In theaters and on HBO Max April 23)
“The Asset” — Two assassins (Maggie Q and Michael Keaton) who share a mysterious past from Vietnam must form an uneasy alliance and return to Vietnam to track down the killer of her mentor (Samuel L. Jackson). (In theaters April 23)
“Without Remorse” — Michael B. Jordan (“Black Panther”) stars as a U.S. Navy SEAL who uncovers an international conspiracy while seeking justice for the murder of his pregnant wife by Russian soldiers. Based on the Tom Clancy novel (of course it is). Jamie Bell (”Rocketman”) also stars. (On Amazon Prime Video April 30)
“Wrath of Man” — Director Guy Ritchie teams up with Jason Statham for a fourth time in this actioner (what else would it be?) about a security guard for a cash truck company who’s looking for the people responsible for his son’s murder. (In theaters May 7)
“Those Who Wish Me Dead” — Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan (”Hell or High Water”) directs this tale about a teenage murder witness who finds himself pursued by assassins in the Montana wilderness with a survival expert tasked with protecting him — and a forest fire threatening them all. Starring Angelina Jolie and Nicholas Hoult. (In theaters and HBO Max May 14)
