Spider-Man and Venom Are Swinging Onto Disney+
thewrap.comIt’s not quite “every ‘Spider-Man’ movie on Disney+,” but it’s a start. Beginning Friday, the entire Sam Raimi-directed “Spider-Man” trilogy (“Spider-Man,” “Spider-Man 2” and “Spider-Man 3”) will arrive alongside Marc Webb’s first “Amazing Spider-Man” reboot attempt.
On May 12, subscribers will be able to watch Sony’s first “Venom” flick and the first Marvel/Sony Peter Parker passion play, “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” However, that still leaves four of 10 live-action titles at least going back to 2002 MIA on the platform. “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” and “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” are left out alongside the two MCU Spidey sequels, “Spider-Man: Far from Home” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” This is just how the licensing agreements and related streaming merry-go-round work.
All four of those “missing” titles are currently streaming on Starz. For that matter, every single “Spider-Man” or “Venom” movie is currently available to rent for around $4 on every mainstream VOD platform.
