The wait for live-action Spider-Man films on Disney+ is finally over – at least for subscribers in the UK and Ireland.
Five Spider-Man films with three different leads (Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield) will be making their way to Disney+ on Friday 17 June 2022 at no extra cost to subscribers. The films that will be available to stream are:
- Spider-Man (2002)
- Spider-Man 2 (2004)
- The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
- The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
- Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
Disney+ costs £7.99 per month, or £79.99 per year, and you can sign up on the Disney+ website. The site is currently rolling out new episodes of the latest MCU series, Ms. Marvel, and the popular Star Wars show, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Sadly, only the first instalment of Tom Holland’s outing as Peter Parker will be available to stream. If you want to watch Spider-Man Far From Home (2019) or the epic blockbuster Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), you will have to either purchase the VOD/DVDs.
The latter is rather unsurprising, considering that Disney has confirmed that it will be re-releasing Spider-Man: No Way Home in cinemas with extra ‘fun’ footage in September.
This list is also missing the iconic Spider-Man 3 (2007). This is currently available on Netflix, but we’re unsure if it will leave the platform on 17 June, as some of the other films that are coming to Disney+ are currently still available on Netflix UK. The delays in the Spider-Man films coming to Disney+ are due to ongoing licensing issues between Sony and Disney.
Disney also confirmed that more Sony films and shows will come to Disney+ UK later this year, but did not elaborate on which titles these will be.
US and international viewers have not yet been confirmed to get access to these Spider-Man films. However, you should be able to access the Disney+ UK library by logging into your usual account with a VPN such as NordVPN or Surfshark. You can take a look at our list of the best VPNs for streaming, which we test throughout the year.
