Not all Spider-Man movies are on Disney Plus, and the ones available depend on your region and change over time
Disney Plus carries some Spider-Man films, but the full catalog is split across multiple studios and streaming services. Sony Pictures owns the Spider-Man movie rights, while Disney owns Marvel Studios. This split ownership means Disney Plus does not have every Spider-Man film, and what is available in your country may differ from another viewer's library.
The movies that do appear on Disney Plus are typically the Marvel Studios films where Spider-Man appears alongside other Marvel characters—primarily the recent MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) entries. The older Spider-Man films from Sony, including Tobey Maguire's trilogy and the Andrew Garfield films, are licensed to other platforms. Your best approach is to check your Disney Plus app directly by searching "Spider-Man," since the catalog updates regularly and varies by location.
Key Takeaways
- Disney Plus carries Marvel Studios Spider-Man films like Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, but availability varies by country.
- Sony owns the older Spider-Man films (Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield versions) and licenses them to other streaming services, not Disney Plus.
- The Spider-Man catalog on Disney Plus changes periodically as licensing agreements renew, so a film available today may not be there in six months.
- Checking your Disney Plus search bar is faster and more accurate than any guide, since regional libraries update without announcement.
Marvel Studios Spider-Man films on Disney Plus
The Spider-Man movies most likely to be on Disney Plus are the ones produced by Marvel Studios in partnership with Sony. These include Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). All three feature Tom Holland as Spider-Man and connect directly to the broader MCU storyline with characters like Tony Stark and Doctor Strange.
However, even these films are not may provide to be on Disney Plus in every region. Disney's streaming rights vary by country due to existing licensing deals that were signed before Disney Plus launched. In some countries, these films may be on Disney Plus; in others, they may be on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or available only through purchase or rental. The only way to know for certain is to search within your Disney Plus app.
Sony Spider-Man films and where to find them
The Spider-Man films from Sony's earlier franchises—the Tobey Maguire trilogy (Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3) and the Andrew Garfield films (The Amazing Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man 2)—are not on Disney Plus. Sony retains the streaming rights to these movies and licenses them to other platforms.
These older films typically rotate between Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Sony's own Crackle service, depending on the region and the current licensing period. If you are looking for a specific Sony Spider-Man film, searching across multiple platforms or checking a service like JustWatch (which shows where films are currently streaming) will save you time. Sony also releases these films for purchase or rental on most digital storefronts year-round.
Why Spider-Man streaming rights are complicated
Spider-Man's streaming home is fragmented because Sony sold the film rights to Marvel Studios in 2015, but kept the streaming rights to older films and retains theatrical distribution rights. This means Disney produces the new Spider-Man films with Marvel Studios, but Sony decides where those films stream after their theatrical run and home video window close.
Licensing agreements signed years ago also affect where films appear. Many countries have existing deals that give Netflix or other services first claim to certain Spider-Man films for a set period. When those deals expire, the films may move to Disney Plus, but the timing is unpredictable and varies widely by location. This is why a film available on Disney Plus in the United States might not appear on the same service in Canada or the United Kingdom.
How to check what is currently available
The fastest way to find out which Spider-Man movies are on your Disney Plus account is to open the app and search for "Spider-Man." The results will show you every Spider-Man-related title available in your region, including films, series, and documentaries. You can also browse the Marvel collection directly, which groups MCU films together.
If a Spider-Man film does not appear in your Disney Plus search, it is not currently licensed to that service in your region. At that point, you can check other streaming services, rent or purchase the film digitally, or wait to see if it rotates back to Disney Plus later. Keep in mind that streaming catalogs update without announcement, so a film that is unavailable today may appear in a few months.
Spider-Man films that may appear on Disney Plus in the future
Sony has announced plans to bring more Spider-Man content to Disney Plus as part of a broader deal with Disney. This could eventually include some Sony Spider-Man films, though no specific titles or dates have been confirmed. Any major changes to the Spider-Man catalog on Disney Plus would likely be announced by Disney or covered in entertainment news, so you do not need to check constantly.
For now, assume that the MCU Spider-Man films (the Tom Holland movies) are your best bet for finding Spider-Man content on Disney Plus, though even these are not may provide in every region. Sony's older Spider-Man films remain on other platforms and are unlikely to move to Disney Plus in the near term.
