‘Spider-Man: Far From Home' Swings To Disney+ In November
This completes collecting all Spider-Man movies up to the 2021 films
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse won’t be the only Spider-Man movie making streaming moves next week when it arrives on Netflix. Among the arrivals for November on Disney+ in the United States is the second film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s iteration of the web-crawler, Spider-Man: Far From Home. It’s been announced it will make its way November 3.
The process began when Disney and Sony reached their content license agreement that included the post-Pay 1 (post-Netflix) window for 2022-2026 films, but access to the library in April 2021. This past April, the Spider-Man movies started arriving, with the Sam Raimi-directed 2002-2007 trilogy and the first The Amazing Spider-Man film on the 21st while Homecoming, the first film in the MCU series, and Venom arrived on May 12. That already took care of six of the eleven films. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 arrived on August 11. So far, the Sony deal for Disney+ has only pertained to these films and nothing else in the library.
The arrival of Far From Home leaves three films: The 2021 films, consisting of Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Far From Home’s own sequel Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Morbius, which began its pay-1 Netflix stay in September 2022 so that’s still got several months to go. However, the 2021 films, even as October and December releases, still fall under the deal they had with Starz. They arrived there in April and July 2022 respectively. While that does mean 18 months have passed for Let There Be Carnage, I do not have an answer as to what its path will be and how soon Disney+ will be able to grab it. And I probably won’t when January comes around for No Way Home.
Spider-Man: Far From Home is directed by Jon Watts and stars Tom Holland as Spider-Man Peter Parker, Zendaya as MJ, Jacob Batalon as Ned, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan, and Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio. It was written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers and is executive produced by the usual cast of producers involved in Spider-Man and MCU films. Elsewhere in November for Marvel, Loki season 2 will not only see its end, but its edition of the making-of documentary series Assembled will arrive. Marvel Legends will have three The Marvels-tying episodes about its three heroes: Carol Danvers, Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau the same day as Far From Home, the Friday before The Marvels release. Five recent Spidey and His Amazing Friends episodes and six Meet Spidey and His Amazing Friends shorts arrive on November 22.
