Spider-Man is one of the most popular superheroes of all time, having been featured in comics, movies, TV shows, and video games for decades. With the rise of streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and more, many fans are wondering where they can watch their favorite web-slinging hero online.
Where can I stream the Spider-Man movies?
There have been eight Spider-Man movies made so far, not counting his appearances in other films like Captain America: Civil War and the Avengers movies. Here’s a quick rundown of where you can stream the various Spider-Man movies:
Movie | Where to Stream |
---|---|
Spider-Man (2002) | Starz |
Spider-Man 2 (2004) | Starz |
Spider-Man 3 (2007) | Starz |
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) | Starz |
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) | Starz |
Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) | Disney+ |
Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) | Netflix |
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) | Starz |
As you can see, the streaming availability is split primarily between Starz and Disney+. The Tom Holland Spider-Man movies (Homecoming, Far From Home, No Way Home) are on different services since they were collaborations between Sony and Marvel Studios.
Why are the Spider-Man movies split up?
The rights to Spider-Man films are owned by Sony Pictures, who licensed the character to Marvel Studios for a few movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe starting with Captain America: Civil War. All the other solo Spider-Man movies were made solely by Sony, hence why they are on Starz rather than Disney+.
Spider-Man: No Way Home was co-produced by Sony and Marvel Studios, but the streaming rights still went to Starz.
Will the Spider-Man movies be on Disney+ eventually?
Possibly! The licensing deals for streaming are constantly shifting. For example, Sony movies like Jumanji were previously available on Netflix before moving exclusively to Starz.
It’s likely the Sony Spider-Man movies could end up on Disney+ someday, but no definite plans have been announced yet. The Tom Holland Spider-Man movies (Homecoming, Far From Home, No Way Home) are definitely going to stay on Disney+ since Marvel Studios was a co-producer.
Where can I stream the Spider-Man TV shows?
In addition to the movies, Spider-Man has also been featured in several TV shows over the years. Here’s where you can stream the major Spider-Man shows:
