Spider-Man is finally joining the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Disney+! On Wednesday, it was announced that the Walt Disney Company and Sony Pictures Entertainment have set a huge movie licencing agreement. The deal will bring Sony Pictures' theatrical releases from 2022-2026 and much of its existing library — including Sony Pictures' Universe of Marvel Characters films like Spider-Man — to Disney-owned streaming services such as Disney+ and Hulu, as well as to Disney's TV networks like ABC, Disney Channels, Freeform, FX and National Geographic. Let me just say, as someone who recently did a Marvel binge on Disney+ and had to rent Tom Holland [1] and Zendaya [2]'s Spider-Man films, this is a huge win.

The news of the Disney and Sony licencing agreement comes a few weeks after Netflix and Sony inked their own licencing agreement [3]. Through that deal, all movies released by Sony Pictures in 2022 will stream exclusively [4] on Netflix after their theatrical releases. This includes sequels to films like Venom, Jumanji, Bad Boys, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Once that window expires, those titles will hit Disney platforms for their Pay 2 windows. Hopefully this means we have even more Spider-Man movies to look forward to [5] in the MCU!
