Hulu is adding lots of new movies and shows, with something for everyone. This weekend, you’ll find everything from big sci-fi adventures and inspiring true stories to popular superhero films. Whether you want to see the newest ‘Planet of the Apes’ movie or revisit some classic early 2000s comic book films, Hulu has plenty of great options for a movie night.

‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ (2024)

Set long after Caesar’s time, this new film follows a young ape on a dangerous quest as a ruthless new leader rises to power. The story delves into themes of what we leave behind and the fight to survive, revealing secrets about the connection between humans and apes. As the latest installment in the reimagined ‘Planet of the Apes’ series, the film uses cutting-edge motion capture to create incredibly realistic characters. It portrays a world where the balance of power has drastically changed, and humans have largely reverted to a wild, primal state.

‘Splitsville’ (2025)

This funny and heartfelt movie follows a couple dealing with the messiness of their breakup, all while trying to appear okay in front of their friends. It honestly portrays the difficulties of modern relationships and the uncomfortable moments that come with divorce. The actors skillfully blend humor with the real emotional struggles of starting over, and the story shows how hard it is to move forward when you’re still connected to someone from your past.

‘Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere’ (2025)

This biographical drama, starring Jeremy Allen White, tells the story of Bruce Springsteen as he created his iconic 1982 album, ‘Nebraska’. The film shows his personal struggles and the unique, stripped-down way he recorded the album, capturing a defining moment in his career. It dives into what inspired the album’s dark and thoughtful songs, which were a departure from his earlier, more upbeat rock music. Ultimately, the film examines how fame, artistic expression, and looking inward all come together.

‘Together’ (2025)

This movie is a close-up look at a relationship at a turning point. It focuses on the honest and sometimes difficult conversations a couple has when outside forces make them question their future together. The story feels real and explores the delicate side of being human, highlighting how important it is to talk and remember shared experiences to keep a connection strong.

‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ (2024)

In this new Ghostbusters movie, the Spengler family teams up with the original Ghostbusters at the famous New York City firehouse. They face a dangerous threat – an ancient artifact that could trigger a new Ice Age – and must work together to save the world. The film combines exciting action with the series’ classic humor and plenty of references to the original 1980s movies. It also builds on the story of the ghostbusting technology and introduces new ghosts and challenges for the team.

‘Code 3’ (2024)

The movie centers on two paramedics working their last shift together as one prepares to leave the profession. It realistically depicts the fast-paced and unpredictable world of emergency medicine in a busy city, mixing intense rescue scenes with the coping mechanisms – often dark humor – used by people in high-pressure jobs. The film also explores the emotional impact this constant exposure to emergencies has on the paramedics and their lives outside of work.

‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ (2022)

Doctor Strange ventures into different universes to safeguard a young woman who can travel between them, protecting her from a dangerous enemy. His journey leads him through bizarre and alternate realities, where he meets different versions of himself and unexpected allies. Directed by Sam Raimi, the film blends superhero action with horror and dreamlike imagery, adding a new layer to the ‘Doctor Strange’ story and exploring the risks of messing with reality and the limits of magical power within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

‘Spider-Man 2’ (2004)

In ‘Spider-Man 2’, Peter Parker’s life is spiraling out of control as he tries to juggle being a superhero with school and his personal relationships. Things get even harder when he has to face Dr. Otto Octavius, a scientist who becomes the villain Doctor Octopus after an experiment goes wrong. The movie really delves into Spider-Man’s internal struggles and shows significant growth for the character, all while delivering exciting action, including a memorable battle on a train that pushes him to his absolute limit.

‘Superbad’ (2007)

As a movie fan, I always loved ‘Superbad’ because it perfectly captures that feeling of being on the verge of growing up. It’s about two best friends, high school seniors, who are desperate to get alcohol for a party before they go off to different colleges. What starts as a simple mission quickly spirals into a hilarious series of crazy encounters with some really odd characters around town. It’s a really funny coming-of-age story, but it’s also surprisingly touching because it’s really about these two guys facing the fact that their lives are about to change and they might not see each other as much anymore. Everyone talks about how realistic the dialogue is, and honestly, it feels like you’re eavesdropping on actual teenage boys, which is a big part of what makes it so special.

‘Spider-Man’ (2002)

Teenager Peter Parker gains incredible strength and the ability to climb walls after being bitten by a spider that’s been genetically altered. At first, he uses these powers for his own benefit, but a heartbreaking event helps him realize that having great power means he has a duty to help others. The movie shows his journey to becoming a local hero as he battles the villainous Green Goblin. When ‘Spider-Man’ was first released, it set the standard for many of the superhero movies we see today.
