First of all, those 2022-2026 theatrical releases won't make it onto Disney Plus for many, many months they'll actually be exclusively on Netflix first. That's true but it's tricky - the deal may not apply to No Way Home.ĭisney secured a deal with Sony in April to stream some catalog Spider-Man movies as well as Sony movies released in theaters between 20. You may have read some articles about how Spider-Man movies will be coming to Disney Plus thanks to a new deal struck last year. Those are Marvel characters, but the films are Sony-distributed flicks, so they aren't destined for Disney Plus anytime soon. The same arrangement extends to the Venom movies and the Morbius film coming this year. That's also why you can stream some movies on Disney Plus featuring Holland as Spider-Man - but you can't stream any of the Spider-Man specific films there. That's why Tom Holland's Spider-Man shows up in the Avengers movies. Basically, Sony is in charge of making and distributing standalone Spider-Man universe movies, and then Disney's Marvel can "borrow" the characters for films in its own Marvel Cinematic Universe. Spider-Man, as a character, derives from Marvel, but Disney's Marvel has a complicated license-sharing deal with Sony for the Spider-Man characters on film. It's possible, but it won't be on Disney Plus anytime in the near future, unless Disney and Sony strike a new bargain. Will Spider-Man: No Way Home ever be on Disney Plus? Sony has an agreement in place for its 2021 movies to go to the premium cable network Starz first, where they're available to watch on its traditional channels as well as on its streaming app. No Way Home started streaming on Starz on Friday. Where and when is Spider-Man: No Way Home available to stream?

Sony Pictures is the distributor behind No Way Home, and its deal with Starz means No Way Home is streaming there now.

And HBO and HBO Max have a reputation as a prime place for big movies to head to after cinemas, but HBO Max isn't - and won't - be streaming Spider-Man: No Way Home. Netflix is getting Sony's movies that hit theaters this year, but No Way Home was released late last year. The latest Spider-Man movie isn't coming anywhere near Disney Plus anytime soon, even though actor Tom Holland's Spider-Man appears routinely in Disney's Marvel movies. But even as months passed since its theatrical release, and even as it became available to buy online, the movie wasn't streaming on a subscription service at all, until Friday.Īnd it won't be on one of the services that first come to mind. Spider-Man: No Way Home was the first film in the pandemic to hit $1 billion in global box office receipts.
