Spider-Manis 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 5Spider-Manfilms will be making their way to Disney Plus, althoughNo Way Homeand a few other Peter Parker cinematic adventures won’t be joining them anytime soon.
Despite extending its corporate grasp over to Fox and itsX-Men,Deadpool, andFantastic Fourproperties, Disney and Marvel Studios are unlikely to ever ascertain the same control overSpider-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-Manfans have often had to scramble through several platforms to rewatch the filmsstarring Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

Still, that won’t stop Disney Plus from adding someSpider-Manmovies to its own collection. Starting June 17,Spider-Man,Spider-Man 2,The Amazing Spider-Man,The Amazing Spider-Man 2, andSpider-Man: Homecomingwill accompany the service’s vast MCU library. Noticeably missing from that list areSpider-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 ofSpider-Manin the United States. For example, in most of Latin America, Netflix is the current home to all three of Sam Raimi’sSpider-Manfilms,The Amazing Spider-Man, andHomecoming. However, it does not house the sequels to the latter two, norInto The Spider-Verseand its iconic comic book world.
For most, Disney Plus would seem like the most logical home for all Spidey content, especially sinceSpider-Man: The Animated Seriesfrom the ’90s and all other animated productions are already there.No Way Homein 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 onlyDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesscoming somewhat close, though without reaching the billion-dollar mark at this time.
RegardingNo Way Home, there is some very interesting news surrounding the film. It was recently announced that theSpider-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 Homereturns to theaters on July 10, 2025.
