Hitting theaters in December 2021, Marvel's Spider-Man: No Way Home has since become the sixth best movie of all time, but when will Peter Parker's latest adventure hit streaming services?
Well, the answer is a bit complicated. Right now, the only confirmed information about No Way Home is its availability to buy and rent on Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play, and a handful of lesser-known platforms.
With that said, we do have our own predictions on whether Marvel's Phase 4 movie is coming to Netflix and/or Disney Plus in the near future, which you'll find further down this page.
First, let's get into what we know. If you're looking to stream No Way Home right now, a digital copy of the film is currently only available for purchase through Prime Video, Apple TV (iTunes), Vudu, Google Play, Microsoft, and YouTube in the US. , in the UK and Australia for €19.99 / €14.99 (about AU$25).
Physical DVD and Blu-ray releases of the film will be released on April 4, April 12, and April 13 in the UK, US, and Australia, respectively. At this point, No Way Home will be available for rent (rather than purchase outright) through the aforementioned platforms.
If you sign into Apple TV, for example, you'll now see a message above the "buy" button indicating when the No Way Home rental option will appear in your area (April 4 for those in the UK, April 12 for those in the United States, etc).
Is Spider-Man: No Way Home coming to Disney Plus?
As for whether Spider-Man: No Way Home will stream for free on Disney Plus in the near future, the jury is still out, but the prognosis isn't good. Sony currently owns the rights to the Marvel's Spider-Man film properties, which means the studio is not required to offer the film to the Disney platform, where most other Marvel movies currently reside.
However, we do know that US cable network (and its Lionsgate subsidiary) Starz has exclusive distribution rights to No Way Home for up to 18 months after its December 2021 release. coming to the Starz app in the coming months (Company CEO Jeffrey Hirsch confirmed this to Deadline in February 2022.)
By the way, Starz also exists as a paid add-on service to existing Prime Video subscriptions. So technically, No Way Home should be available to stream through Amazon's entertainment platform when the movie premieres on Starz.
So with this 18-month Starz exclusivity deal through July 2023, we generally wouldn't expect to see No Way Home (at Marvel's request) on Disney Plus for at least a year. At this point, however, Netflix, which currently owns the rights to distribute the Spider-Man movies in the UK, Australia, India and other regions, will hold worldwide rights to all of Sony's movies (under the terms of a existing agreement). meaning a Disney Plus arrival for No Way Home may not be in the cards at all.
At the time of this writing, six of the webslinger's films are available to stream on Netflix in multiple international markets: Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, the two Amazing Spider-Man films (starring Andrew Garfield), and Spider-Man. -Man: Homecoming, that is, the first of Webhead. MCU solo outing. Spider-Man: Far From Home had also been available to watch on the streamer, but was removed from Netflix's back catalog before No Way Home was released.
Given that Netflix owns the distribution rights to Sony Pictures' slate of movies for the next five years (which includes a first-look deal on all upcoming Spider-Man movies, according to the Wall Street Journal), it's inevitable that No Way Home isn't coming to Disney Plus any time soon.
So if you want to watch the latest film in Tom Holland's wall-crawling trilogy as part of an existing subscription package, you'll need to do so on Netflix. As for when will that be? Not until next year, at least in the United States. We will update this article when we have more news about it.
In the meantime, maybe consider investing in a Starz subscription?
