Is Spider-Man: No Way Home now on Disney Plus?
Yes. Spider-Man: No Way Home joined Disney+ in the United States on April 15, 2026, marking the first time the entire MCU film catalog became available on the service (The Direct). The film arrived exactly one day after departing Starz, which had hosted it since 2022.
Current availability on Disney+
Sony struck a deal with Disney to bring its Spider-Man films to the service after their initial streaming windows elsewhere (The Direct). Both Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home were already available on Disney+ before No Way Home’s arrival, and completing the trilogy on April 15 positioned the platform perfectly ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s July 31, 2026 theatrical release.
Watch on Disney+
The film is also currently available on fuboTV, the Starz Apple TV Channel, and the Starz Roku Premium Channel (JustWatch). For purchase or rental, you can find it on Amazon Video, Fandango At Home, and the Apple TV Store.
Disney+ became the definitive home for the MCU trilogy on April 15, 2026 — timed perfectly for fans preparing for the next Spider-Man film in July.
Is Spider-Man: No Way Home on Netflix or Disney?
Spider-Man: No Way Home is not on Netflix. The film went directly from its theatrical run to Starz, where it remained until April 2026 before moving exclusively to Disney+.
Netflix status
While Sony films historically had Netflix exclusivity windows, No Way Home’s streaming path went through Starz instead. Netflix does not currently carry the film, and there are no announced plans for a future arrival on that platform.
Disney+ confirmation
Disney+ is now the primary streaming home for the film. The platform lists it as part of its Super Heroes, Action and Adventure, Coming of Age, Science Fiction, and Fantasy categories (Disney+).
OTT options
If you don’t have a Disney+ subscription, you can rent the film on Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, Fandango At Home, Spectrum On Demand, and Plex (JustWatch). Purchasing digital copies is available through Amazon Video, Fandango At Home, and the Apple TV Store.
The streaming landscape for Sony’s Marvel films has been complex. Disney+ now offers the clearest path for viewers wanting to stream the MCU Spider-Man films in sequence.
Was No Way Home a hit or flop?
No Way Home was a massive hit. The film grossed $1.921 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film released by Sony Pictures and one of the highest-grossing films of all time (Wikipedia).
Box office performance
The film premiered at the Fox Village Theater in Los Angeles on December 13, 2021, before releasing theatrically in the United States on December 17, 2021 (Wikipedia). It was initially scheduled for July 16, 2021, but was delayed twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic, first to November 5 and then to December 2021.
As the 27th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and part of Phase Four, No Way Home shattered expectations. A June 2024 theatrical re-release, part of Columbia Pictures’ 100th anniversary celebration, added further box office returns (Wikipedia).
Compared to Marvel flops
By any measure, No Way Home stands in stark contrast to some other Marvel releases. Films like The Marvels (2023) and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023) struggled at the box office by comparison, with The Marvels earning less than $200 million worldwide against a reported $275 million budget.
Spider-Man’s multiverse crossover with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield villains drove unprecedented audience enthusiasm — a formula that paid off to the tune of nearly $2 billion globally.
Why did they remove No Way Home from Disney Plus?
Spider-Man: No Way Home was never on Disney+ before April 2026, so it wasn’t removed — it arrived. The film spent its earlier streaming window on Starz, where it debuted in 2022 before leaving on April 14, 2026 (The Direct).
Past removal reasons
Sony historically licensed its Marvel content to multiple platforms in sequence. After Netflix’s presumed exclusivity window ended, Starz carried the film until the Disney+ arrangement took effect. The timing of the Starz departure aligning exactly with the Disney+ arrival suggests a coordinated handoff between the platforms.
Why Spider-Man: No Way Home wasn’t on Disney+ sooner
The delay came down to Sony’s distribution agreements. While Disney owns Marvel Studios, Sony controls the Spider-Man film rights and negotiates streaming deals independently. The April 2026 arrival represents the culmination of a deal that brought the MCU’s web-slinger fully into Disney’s streaming ecosystem.
Regional availability may vary. International Disney+ users should check their local listings, as the April 15, 2026 release primarily applies to the United States.
Sony’s licensing deals mean Spider-Man films migrate between platforms periodically. Disney+ now has the film, but future removals remain possible depending on renegotiated terms.
Spider-Man: No Way Home cast and more
Tom Holland returned as Peter Parker alongside Zendaya as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds in the third MCU Spider-Man film directed by Jon Watts (Disney+).
Main cast
The film brought back several franchise favorites while also introducing multiverse elements. Alfred Molina returned as Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man 2 (2004), and Willem Dafoe reprised his Green Goblin role from Spider-Man (2002). Jamie Foxx’s Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) also appeared.
Zendaya payment
Reports indicate Zendaya earned approximately $5.8 million upfront for her role in No Way Home — a significant increase from her earlier MCU salaries, reflecting her rising star power after Euphoria’s success.
Director
Jon Watts directed all three MCU Spider-Man films with Tom Holland, having previously directed Cop Car (2015) and the first two Holland-led Spider-Man entries. The runtime is 148 minutes, rated PG-13 (Disney+).
The multiverse cast came with a tradeoff: fitting legacy actors alongside new MCU characters required careful storytelling, but the emotional payoff resonated with audiences who had waited years to see Maguire and Garfield’s Spider-Men share screens with Holland.
Plot and MCU timeline placement
In Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man’s secret identity is revealed, bringing his Super Hero responsibilities into direct conflict with his normal life (Disney+). Peter Parker enlists Doctor Strange’s help to restore his secret, but the spell tears a hole in their world, releasing powerful villains from other universes.
On Disney+, the film is positioned between Eternals and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in the MCU timeline (The Direct). This placement makes it essential viewing before Multiverse of Madness, as it sets up key narrative threads for the larger MCU.
