Hey there! Check out the awesome titles heading to Hulu this Mother's Day weekend, starting May 9, 2025!
Get ready for a weekend of action with Jason Statham icons as the first two Transporter movies join Hulu's roster. Directed by the likes of Louis Leterrier, who later helmed Fast X, this high-octane series follows Frank Martin, a proficient driver with a set of strict rules for each mission. The first installment, The Transporter, took in almost $44 million during its theater run, while its sequel netted $89 million. The legendary Statham returns for Transporter 3, which grossed over $108 million.
Another franchise making its way to Hulu is Hitman, based on the popular video game series. Timothy Olyphant stars as Agent 47 in this adrenaline-pumping flick, and Luc Besson, a producer for the Transporter series, was also involved. Despite grossing over $100 million, the film series was rebooted in 2015 with Hitman: Agent 47, starring Rupert Friend in the title role.
