The Transporter 5 Confirmed for 2025: Ed Skrein Returns in High-Speed Action Sequel
LOS ANGELES – Action fans can buckle up once more: The Transporter 5 is officially slated for release in 2025, marking the long-awaited return of EuropaCorp’s high-octane franchise. Directed by Camille Delamarre, the film sees Ed Skrein reprising his role as Frank Martin Jr., the professional driver with a strict code and a knack for getting out of impossible situations.
New Mission, Bigger Stakes
In this latest installment, Frank is hired for what seems like a routine transport job in Monaco. But his passenger, a skilled hacker named Eliza (played by Úrsula Corberó), is carrying information that could expose a powerful cyber-terrorist network. As global agencies and underground forces race to find her, Frank must navigate a web of deception and danger across Europe — all while sticking to his rules.
Cast and Crew
Joining Skrein is Úrsula Corberó, best known for her role in Money Heist. She plays the central female lead, whose secrets put both her life and Frank’s mission at risk. Veteran French actor Vincent Cassel is rumored to play the film’s primary antagonist. The production also hints at a possible return of Loan Chabanol, last seen in The Transporter Refueled (2015).
Back to Basics with Modern Flair
Filmed across locations in France, Spain, and the Czech Republic, The Transporter 5 blends the franchise’s signature car chases and hand-to-hand combat with modern cyber-espionage themes. The Audi RS7, a staple of the series, returns with updated modifications for the film’s major chase sequences.
According to director Delamarre, the new film “respects the original style but speaks to today’s world — faster, more digital, and more dangerous.”
Release and Reception
While the exact release date has not been confirmed, The Transporter 5 is expected to hit theaters globally in late 2025, with a European premiere likely in Paris or Cannes. Early buzz from industry insiders suggests the film could revitalize the franchise, offering a mix of fresh storytelling and old-school action.
