And later, the studio reverted to theatrical-only releases for movies like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Eternals. Once people started going back to theaters, Disney tried releasing movies - for instance, Black Widow - in theaters and on Disney+ simultaneously, again for an extra charge. Some films, like the live-action remake of Mulan, were released exclusively to Disney+ subscribers for an additional charge.

Studios like Disney, which made Spider-Man, have experimented with several approaches for their releases over the past two years. Before the pandemic, casual movie-watchers might not have cared about whether a movie went to theaters or straight to streaming, but a theatrical release was a mark of pride for the industry, and a way for smaller movies to attract attention now, old release models have gone out the window. That’s a reasonable question, given that how film releases have been in flux over the past two years. Needless to say, a lot of people have headed to theaters to see Tom Holland, Zendaya, and crew in the latest installment of the franchise - but if you don’t want to go to the movies right now, you might be wondering whether or not you can stream the feature at home.

There's also a new Disney Plus series about Tom Holland's Peter Parker on the way, though it will be animated. The deal does mean, however, that Sam’s Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, the two Amazing Spider-Man movies, and the rest of Tom Holland's trilogy will arrive on Disney Plus sometime in the near future. There are currently no live-action Spider-Man movies on Disney Plus, although you can find animated series featuring everyone's favorite web-slinger. Yes, the streaming wars are very real and probably means No Way Home isn't come to Disney Plus (if at all) until 2023 at the earliest. The Netflix partnership ended a long-running deal between Sony and Starz that's been in place since 2005 and officially begins in 2022. That's because Sony already has a separate deal with Netflix that means its movies will appear on that streaming service first.
