Disney movie releases don't take too long to hit Disney Plus. For example, Eternals It took about two months from when it was released in theaters until it appeared on the streaming platform. However, with Spider-Man the same story will not repeat itself. The threads that connect Stan Lee's superhero to Sony are going to prevent us from watching the movie comfortably at home with our Disney+ account.
No way home will come as video on demand
If you want to go back to see Spider-Man: No Way Home or if you missed it at the movies, it won't be as easy as waiting to see it on Disney Plus. What was the highest grossing production of 2021 can be seen from home starting next Winners will be announced in Marchbut not as we all expect. It will be available only on demand, that is, you will have to make a payment per viewing. As reported by Business Insider, the chosen platforms are Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Apple TV and Vudu for the moment, although we will have to wait for that date to arrive to see which services are chosen to launch the film in our country.
We also do not know the rental prices of the movie on demand in our country, but in the United States, it is estimated that it will be U.S. dollar 20. With such a high price, it will almost be a little more logical to get the film in physical format, which will be released a little later, specifically, on April 12, with Blu-Ray 4K formats and a collector's edition that, without It will certainly be better than paying for a single viewing.
Why won't No Way Home be on Netflix or Disney+?
Spider-Man's past is one of the great thorns that Disney has stuck in since it took over Marvel. This problem dates back to the 90s, when Marvel, in dire financial straits, decided to sell the film rights of his best superheroes.
Over the years, the situation has been reversed for many of the superheroes, but not with Spider-Man, who remains under the umbrella of Sony Pictures. In fact, movies like No way home (or the entire Tom Holland trilogy) have meant that Sony and Disney agreed to bring the superhero to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a decision that has benefited both parties, since No way home It is undoubtedly one of the best superhero movies ever made. More, taking into account the madness of bringing us the Spider-Man from the rest of the productions with the excuse of the multiverse. A truly fantastic idea that has given a special aura to the latest film in the Holland's Spider-Man.
Even so, Sony wants to continue making its investment profitable. The company's initial plans are to exploit the film as video on demand. In addition, the studio has signed a 6 month deal with Starz, which will be the streaming service that is likely to offer the movie at the lowest price. After that time, It is expected that No way home ended up on netflix, and possibly also on Disney +, although it is not entirely certain.
