Disney Plus has become one of the streaming platforms with more users currently subscribed. This platform stands out for its huge catalog of content. Among them we can see the movies and series of the Marvel Universe, something that has undoubtedly helped its popularity in the market. Because of this, many are looking to find out if Disney Plus has Spiderman or not.
Spiderman is one of the most popular comic characters of all times. As many already know, this is a character within the Marvel universe, which already has several movie sagas to its credit. That is why many people who are going to open a Disney Plus account want to know if the Spider-Man movies are available on this platform or not. Since many are not going to open an account if these movies cannot be seen in it.
Does Disney Plus have the Spiderman movies?
Unfortunately, the answer to this question is negative. Disney Plus does not have the Spiderman movies available, so we can not see them on this platform. This is something that will undoubtedly be disappointing to many, as well as raising questions about why this is so. For this reason, we will tell you more about how this has happened, so that you know those reasons why we cannot see these movies on Disney Plus.
Even though Spiderman is a Marvel character, when Disney bought the company that had created it, bought all the licenses for the characters in this universe. So that it is possible to take advantage of them in various fields, such as in the world of cinema, the field of television, comics, merchandising and others. Unfortunately, this purchase is something that came too late in the case of Spiderman, whose rights had already been sold. Which means that the rights to him are not in the hands of Disney. Although this happens with other Marvel characters, such as the Hulk, Spiderman's is the most notable or outstanding case.
The cinematographic exploitation rights of Spiderman, Venom, Mysterio are currently in the hands of Sony. Although there have been rumors about a possible sale or that Sony was going to stop exploiting these rights, the reality is that they are still theirs today. Therefore, it is not possible to watch the movies of this character on Disney Plus. It is true Spiderman appears in some of the Avengers movies or the Marvel Universe, as many of you already know, but his own movies are not available on the platform.
Spiderman Rights
As we just mentioned, Sony currently owns the theatrical rights to Spiderman.. The Japanese giant bought these rights in the 90s, at a time when Marvel was going through a bad economic situation. In addition to the theatrical rights to Spiderman, the company also bought the rights to Venom and Mysterio. All three are still under his ownership today.
Comic book rights are something are still in the hands of Marvel. This deal included a clause that the rights would revert to Marvel as long as Sony didn't make a Spider-Man movie within a certain period of time. Although this is not something that has been fulfilled, since in the last 20 years we have been able to see that a total of 8 Spiderman movies have been released, in three different sagas so far. So this has made Sony continue to own these rights to Spider-Man in the movies. Something that surely do not want to lose at the moment.
Spiderman has indeed appeared in movies within this Marvel universe. As those of you who are fans of these films well know, he has had a presence in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. This has been possible thanks to an agreement that was carried out between Sony and Marvel, thus allowing his appearance in these films. These three movies are available on Disney Plus, so they are the only ones in which we will be able to see Spiderman on screen.
Where to watch the Spiderman movies
Although Sony has reached agreements with Marvel on some particular occasion, the collaboration between the two parties is not too extensive. This is one of the main reasons why Disney Plus does not have Spiderman. So users who are interested in seeing the films of the well-known hero are going to have to look for other platforms to be able to see them on occasion. Since none of these eight films starring the character can be seen on the Disney streaming platform.
Their availability is something that also varies, that is, there is no platform where we can see them all. This is definitely a problem or annoyance for users. Since many would like to be able to see them on the same platform, not having to open several accounts on different platforms for this to be possible. Unfortunately, this is not currently possible. Where can we see these movies? We tell you more about the availability of them.
Spiderman, Spiderman 2 and Spiderman 3
The original trilogy of Spider-Man movies was released in theaters in the early 2000s. These three films were directed by Sam Raimi, with Tobey Maguire playing Spiderman and Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane. It is a saga that had enormous popularity in theaters, which has had a huge collection and is seen by many as the best films starring this hero. In any case, there are three films that many want to see.
If you want to be able to see the first three Spider-Man movies in Spain, you will have to do it through Movistar Plus. This is the only way in which it is possible for us to see them all in Spain. The three films can be seen on the Movistar platform, so its customers are in luck in this regard. Since all of them are available there. It does not seem that they will be able to be seen on other platforms such as Netflix or Amazon Prime at the moment.
The Amazing Spiderman and The Amazing Spiderman 2: The Power of Electro
In 2012 Sony was betting on relaunching Spiderman to the market, with a new generation of movies. This movie is The Amazing Spiderman, starring Andrew Garfield and directed by Marc Webb. It is a new saga with which the hero of the comics reached a new generation of people. In this case, Sony was only releasing two films to theaters, since plans to release a third were finally cancelled. We have the 2012 movie and its sequel, The Amazing Spiderman 2: The Power of Electro, which was officially released in theaters in 2014.
These two films can currently be found on one of the most popular streaming platforms on the market. As many of you may already know, these two films are available on Netflix in Spain. This is something that will undoubtedly make many happy, since most of you probably have a Netflix account, so you can watch these two movies on the streaming platform in Spain, as well as in the rest of the world.
Spiderman – Homecoming, Spiderman – Far From Home and Spiderman: No Way Home
In 2017 Sony relaunched this saga once again, this time starring Tom Holland. It is the most recent Spiderman saga on the market, in fact, the most recent movie of his still available in many theaters around the world. They have left us with three films again, which have performed well at the box office, making it another success for Sony in this regard.

In the case of the second movie, Spiderman – Far From Home, which was released in 2019 in theaters, we have to go to a different platform to see it. Since this movie is available on Amazon Prime Video. It is not included in a Prime Video account, but you will have to pay additional money, either to buy or rent it. Renting the film costs 3,99 euros, while if you want to buy it you will have to pay 7,99 euros, but then it will be yours forever.
The most recent movie, Spiderman: No Way Home, not available yet on streaming platforms at the time of writing this article (March 2022).

It could be either Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, but since the signing they have not said anything to date.
