Some Of Spider-Man [And Venom] Are Finally Swing Onto Disney+ Soon

Five of the Spider-Man movies plus Venom are swinging onto Disney+. Four will be available tomorrow, while two more will drop on May 12th.

When it comes to Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, they had a bit of a contentious relationship at first. Sony and the first trilogy of Spider-Man movies were part of the 1-2-3 punch that helped kick off the superhero boom we live in today. They tried to revive the series in 2012 with a new actor but only got two entries in before things started to fall apart. It seemed that Sony didn't quite know what they were doing or what to do with the talented casts they were putting together. So they decided it was time to play nice with Marvel Studios, and Spider-Man officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That version of Peter Parker was the only version up until Spider-Man: No Way Home when it was revealed that not only were the two previous versions of the character canon in their own universes, but the Venom film that was a box office smash but wasn't exactly critically beloved, was also canon in its own world. The multiverse is real, so everything can be canon. It was only a matter of time before the previous Spider-Man movies would make the move to Disney+, and it seems that the move is now.

According to a press release sent out by Disney, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, and The Amazing Spider-Man will all make the jump to Disney+ on April 21st. Spider-Man: Homecoming and Venom will make the jump on May 12th. The release also makes the point to say that "additional titles from Sony Pictures' film and television library are expected to premiere on Disney+ in the U.S. later this year." So we can expect to see The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and Spider-Man: No Way Home also make the jump by the end of the year. After No Way Home, it makes sense for these movies to have a home on Disney+ because even if they exist tangentially, they are connected. The two previous versions of Spider-Man are fascinating watches for all of their highs [Spider-Man 2 is still one of the best the genre has ever produced, don't @ me]. The lows [the Amazing series had some excellent casting decisions that were kneecapped by terrible scripts, still don't @ me]. Disney released a TV spot and rebranded posters for the occasion.
