Are the new spider man movies on disney+

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is taking over the small screen in a big way, with smash hits like WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier already racking up major streaming numbers — and shows for Loki, Hawkeye, and She-Hulk on the way. But recently, MCU heads everywhere have felt their Spidey-sense a-tingling: when is Spider-Man coming to Disney+?

The good news is that the absence of your friendly neighborhood webslinger from the streaming platform Mickey Mouse built is almost over. Here’s the scoop on when Spider-Man will be swinging onto Disney+.

IS SPIDER-MAN COMING TO DISNEY+?

Yes! Spider-Man is coming to Disney+, so Tom Holland and Zendaya fans, rejoice: Deadline reports that Disney and Sony have inked a multi-year pact to make Spider-Man a part of Disney+, with new films released between 2022 and 2026 moving to the platform after landing first at Netflix. The deal also includes library rights to the Spider-Man franchise.

“This landmark multi-year, platform agnostic agreement guarantees the team at Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution a tremendous amount of flexibility and breadth of programming possibilities to leverage Sony’s rich slate of award-winning action and family films across our direct-to-consumer services and linear channels,” said Chuck Saftler, head of Business Operations for ABC, according to Deadline.

And it’s not just Disney+. A whole universe of the company’s broadcast destinations are on board, including ABC, FX, and Freeform. Deadline reports the official announcement as saying that the deal, “gives Disney enormous programming potential across its platforms and makes them key destinations for a robust collection of Spider-Man films.”

WHEN IS SPIDER-MAN COMING TO DISNEY+?

• Stream It Or Skip It: 'Morbius' on Netflix, a Marvel/Sony Vampire Movie in Which Jared Leto Doesn't Eat the Scenery

• Stream It Or Skip It: 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' on VOD, in Which Spider-Man, Spider-Man and Spider-Man Face the Fight of Their Lives

• 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' Has an Under the Radar 'Daredevil' Easter Egg

• ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Mid-Credits Scene Ties up That Weird ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ End Credits Scene

The specifics of Spidey hitting Disney+ were not announced, but we can make some potentially educated guesses. Spider-Man: No Way Home, the third part of the Tom Holland-starring trilogy, debuts in theaters on December 17, 2021, meaning it’s not technically part of this deal. However, under the new deal Sony’s library titles — which include the Tobey Maguire starring Spider-Man movies, as well as the Andrew Garfield starring Amazing Spider-Man movies, and both earlier Holland MCU movies — could start hitting platforms as early as June, according to Variety.

All of this is subject to pre-existing deals, meaning you shouldn’t expect to boot up Disney+ on June 1 and start watching the complete, totally coherent Spider-Man series. But chances are good that (again, depending on how current streaming deals are contracted), you could be watching at least some of them before the end of 2021. For example, Spider-Man: Homecoming is currently only streamable on fuboTV, making it a likely prospect to hop over to Disney+. On the other hand, Spider-Man: Far From Home is currently on Starz, which is still in negotiation with Sony, so its fate is a little more up in the air.

Back to No Way Home, if it does fall under the new deal (is December 17 technically next year? Maybe!), then you’ll have to wait a while. New Sony titles will hit Netflix approximately 18 months after they leave theaters. The length of time those movies will be on Netflix could vary, but some time after that, they’ll hit Disney+. That means it could be between 19 months or longer before No Way Home joins the other Spider-Man movies on the service. By that point, Peter Parker will be a full-grown adult!

HOW TO WATCH DISNEY+

Disney+ is available for $8/mo. or $80 annually. You can also bundle Disney+ with Hulu and ESPN for $14/mo., or get the bundle ad-free for $20/mo.

Starting this week, Disney+ users in the U.K. will be able to watch five Spider-Man films from all three franchises on the streaming platform.

Fans of the franchise will be able to have a binge-fest and relive the iconic Spider-Man portrayals from Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland in Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Homecoming on Disney+ starting on Friday.

This is the beginning of a list of Sony’s film catalogue that will soon be joining the Disney+ platform. Just earlier this week, Spider-Man: No Way Home was announced to have a re-release in cinemas with a new extended version. According to Marvel, the success of the film has warranted a release of No Way Home: The More Fun Stuff Version, an extended film that will hit theaters starting on September 2 in the U.S. and Canada. The blockbuster No Way Home was a global hit, smashing box office records and making $1.9 billion USD around the world.

The five Spider-Man films are making its way to Disney+ on June 17.

In other entertainment news, Netflix has unveiled first-look images at Stranger Things Season 4, Volume 2.
