Hulu is a great streaming service for building your next weekend movie marathon. It regularly adds originals and classics to its library. Plus, because it's owned by Disney, it's the streaming home for new releases from several Disney-owned studios. It even has deals with some other studios to get in new releases before any other service, whether they're produced by Disney or not.
This weekend, I have three movies that were just added to Hulu this week that are a must-watch. First up is "Interstellar," in honor of Sir Christopher's latest movie, "The Odyssey," arriving in theaters later this month. Once you're done with that nearly three-hour epic, reset a bit with the original "Iron Man," which remains a great movie that you can just sit back and relax with. Finally, wrap up your movie marathon with "The Wolf of Wall Street," a movie that frankly needs no introduction thanks to an incredible Leonardo DiCaprio performance.
Here are the three new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend. For more recommendations, check out the full list of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ in July 2026.

'Interstellar' (2014)
Genre: Epic sci-fi movie
What's it about? "Interstellar" stars Matthew McConaughey as Coop, a retired NASA pilot living on a version of Earth ravaged by famine and environmental disaster. He uncovers a secret mission to find faraway planets to serve as humanity's next home, and joins it, though at great personal cost.
Why you need to watch it: To many, this is Christopher Nolan's best work. While I personally probably have it outside my top 5, it's still a great film and well worth a watch. Check it out this weekend and see what all the fuss is about.

'Iron Man' (2008)
Genre: Marvel superhero movie
What's it about? "Iron Man" stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, a billionaire playboy philanthropist whose life is forever changed in a cave in Afghanistan. After being hit with one of his company's own missiles, he builds an armored suit powered by an arc reactor that's now embedded in his chest, keeping him alive. The rest, as they say, is history.
Why you need to watch it: Given that the MCU is the biggest film franchise in human history, I probably don't need to tell you why you need to watch this movie. But I do want to remind you that this movie was made with only minimal expectation that it would one day tie into a larger Marvel universe. That makes it a tight, self-contained story that's enjoyable to rewatch, even if later Marvel movies would become bloated messes.

'The Wolf of Wall Street' (2013)
Genre: Biographical dark comedy movie
What's it about? "The Wolf of Wall Street" stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan Belfort. A notorious stockbroker, the movie follows Belfort's rise from the ashes of Black Monday to become a multimillionaire Wall Street finance bro running pump and dump schemes from his firm, Stratton Oakmont. Another Scorsese movie, another portrait of a complicated man.
Why you should watch it: I don't know that this is my favorite Leo movie, but I think I'd have to admit it's his best performance. He's charismatic and cocky; he's a terrible human being that you can't help but root for despite all the crimes he commits. This movie is undeniably a must-watch, so make sure to save time for it this weekend.
