Josh Brolin is one of the most underrated A-list stars in the world, and although he only has one Oscar nomination under his belt, many would argue that he deserves a few more. Brolin’s lone Oscar nomination came from starring opposite Sean Penn in Milk (2008), but he also delivered one of his finest performances the year prior in No Country for Old Men, which also stars Tommy Lee Jones and Javier Bardem. Brolin is held in high regard for his commanding performances in a pair of Sicario movies penned by Taylor Sheridan, and he dipped his toe into the blockbuster world by starring as Thanos in several Avengers movies. Rumors have it that he’ll be back in Doomsday later this year, but this has yet to be confirmed.

However, when you’ve been in as many movies as Josh Brolin, it’s only natural that there will be some misses mixed in. 16 years ago, Brolin teamed up with Megan Fox, John Malkovich, and even Michael Fassbender for Jonah Hex, the wacky sci-fi Western following an outlaw who has a chance to clear his name if he finds a dangerous criminal. Jonah Hex grossed only $10 million at the box office against a $47 million budget, and it earned disastrous scores of 11% from critics and 20% from audiences on the aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. Jonah Hex is currently streaming on HBO Max, but unfortunately, the streamer has confirmed that the last day to watch the film will be on February 28. HBO Max is its only streaming home, but it’s unclear where it will migrate once it leaves the platform.

What Is Streaming on HBO Max Right Now?

HBO Max has several hit movies charting in its top 10 right now. M3GAN 2.0, the sci-fi hit that ended the M3GAN franchise, is charting in the top 10 right now, along with Cillian Murphy’s most iconic horror movie, 28 Days Later. The legacy sequel to Murphy’s horror hit, 28 Years Later, is also charting in the HBO Max global top 10 right now. HBO has plenty of popular TV shows sitting in the top 10 right now, such as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and The Pitt. Heated Rivalry continues to dominate streaming on HBO.

Be sure to watch Jonah Hex before it leaves HBO Max at the end of this month, and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.
