Disney Plus is the streaming home for nearly the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. One of the most noticeable exceptions has always been one of the most popular superheroes: Spider-Man, especially his MCU solo outings Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far from home. On Wednesday, Sony and Disney, who share the character under a 2015 agreement, announced a new licensing agreement. This allows Peter Parker to take his place on the same streaming platform as the rest of The Avengers – and more.
The multi-year agreement enables Disney’s streaming platforms to stream titles from Sony’s library – like Hotel Transylvania and the Spider-Man movies – available in June through services like Hulu and Disney Plus. The deal also includes traditional television, which means Disney can also air Sony films on its linear networks like ABC and FX.
New releases from 2022 to 2026 will appear on Disney’s platforms after their first launch on Netflix. This marked a milestone that should be the streaming home for Sony releases after its theatrical release last week.
Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. The agreement makes Sony one of the most famous studios to get involved with Not Hoard your own IP for a new proprietary streaming service – so when it’s time to finally start streaming Morbius, or the Uncharted Movie, they will only come to you. In the end.
