Will they add spider man to disney plus

Spider-Man is the world’s most popular superhero, and that means the battle for his film rights never wears down. This is especially true now that it’s been confirmed that 5 Spider-Man films will be making their way to Disney Plus, although No Way Home and a few other Peter Parker cinematic adventures won’t be joining them anytime soon.

Why is Spider

Despite extending its corporate grasp over to Fox and its X-Men, Deadpool, and Fantastic Four properties, Disney and Marvel Studios are unlikely to ever ascertain the same control over Spider-Man, a perpetual Sony property as long as the studio continues making a new Spidey flick every five years or so. Thus, because Sony lacks its own streaming service, Spider-Man fans have often had to scramble through several platforms in order to rewatch the films starring Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

Still, that won’t stop Disney Plus from adding some Spider-Man movies to its own collection. Starting June 17, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Spider-Man: Homecoming will accompany the service’s vast MCU library. Noticeably missing from that list are Spider-Man 3, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and perhaps most crucially, Spider-Man: No Way Home, since the latter is expected to land on Starz over the coming months.

As it often happens, the streaming rights landscape varies greatly depending on the specific region, and this split only accounts for the state of Spider-Man in the United States. For example, in most of Latin America, Netflix is the current home to all three of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Homecoming. However, it does not house the sequels to the latter two, nor Into The Spider-Verseand its iconic comic book world.

For most, Disney Plus would seem like the most logical home for all Spidey content, especially since Spider-Man: The Animated Series from the '90s and all other animated productions are already there. No Way Home in particular would be a prized asset for Disney Plus since, after all, the movie’s earnings easily outclassed that of any other Marvel Studios movie from the past year, with only Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness coming somewhat close, though without reaching the billion-dollar mark at this time.

Regarding No Way Home, there is some very interesting news surrounding the film. It was recently announced that the Spider-Man: No Way Home - More Fun Stuffcut would be released later this year, thus fueling theories that some more Charlie Cox moments might be on the way.

Spider-Man: No Way Home returns to theaters on September 2, 2022.

Spider-Man: No Way Home was the first film in the pandemic to hit $1 billion in global box office receipts. 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.

And it won't be on one of the services that first come to mind. 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. Netflix is getting Sony's movies that hit theaters this year, but No Way Home was released late last year. 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.

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

Where and when is Spider-Man: No Way Home available to stream?

No Way Home started streaming on Starz on Friday.

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.

Will Spider-Man: No Way Home ever be on Disney Plus?

It's possible, but it won't be on Disney Plus anytime in the near future, unless Disney and Sony strike a new bargain.

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. 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. That's why Tom Holland's Spider-Man shows up in the Avengers movies.

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.

The same arrangement extends to the Venom movies and the Morbius film coming this year. Those are Marvel characters, but the films are Sony-distributed flicks, so they aren't destined for Disney Plus anytime soon.

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. That's true but it's tricky -- the deal may not apply to No Way Home.

Disney secured a deal with Sony in April to stream some catalog Spider-Man movies as well as Sony movies released in theaters between 2022 and 2026. 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. But since No Way Home's theatrical release was in 2021, that part of the deal doesn't apply to it anyway. Second, neither Sony nor Disney are confirming when -- or even if -- No Way Home would be considered a "catalog" movie that could stream on Disney Plus.

Bottom line: If you're holding your breath for No Way Home to stream on Disney Plus, it'll be a long time before you can exhale -- if ever.

Will Spider-Man: No Way Home stream on HBO Max?

No, not for the foreseeable future.

HBO Max streams every Warner Bros. movie, and it's known for aggressively securing the TV and streaming rights to top films. And HBO Max has been closely linked with the concept of same-day streaming, since it released more movies this way than any other streaming service. This has created some misguided hope among moviegoers when any new movie hits theaters. Without knowing which studio is distributing that new flick, lots of people get curious about whether it's one of the movies available on HBO Max too.

But Spider-Man is being distributed by Sony, not Warner Bros., and HBO doesn't have a deal to stream Sony movies first, so No Way Home isn't en route to HBO Max.

Will Spider-Man: No Way Home stream on Netflix?

Highly unlikely. Sony struck a deal with Netflix last year for all its 2022 theatrical releases to stream on Netflix before they're available on any other service or TV network, but No Way Home was released in 2021, before the pact was in effect. The deal also included terms about Netflix also licensing "select titles from [Sony's] vast movie library," but it isn't likely that No Way Home will qualify as a library title anytime soon.

Why is Spider

Spider-Man might be a Marvel creation, but Sony has the film rights to the superhero and many other connected characters. That's why Marvel and Disney don't have any of the MCU Spider-Man movies on the Disney Plus streaming service.
