Marvel could have done the impossible. In a lengthy half-hour announcement for Disney + and its launch in Latin America on November 17, eagle-eyed fans saw evidence that the two Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man films, Spider-Man: Homecoming Y Spider-Man: Far From Home, will soon be able to be broadcast on the platform.
Here’s what we know about Tom Holland’s Spider-Man joining the Avengers on Disney +.
What happened? – On November 7, a 30-minute ad for the Latin American launch of Disney + was uploaded to the YouTube channel of Univers, a major Spanish-language telecommunications company based in Mexico. The ad even includes a speaking appearance from The mandalorian star Pedro Pascal.
At the end of the video, at the 27:40 mark, scenes from both Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) are seen in the background with other content from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic. The images are barely visible, hidden right on the shoulders of some actors for the commercial.
No one points it out either. Nobody in the commercial says, “Hey, those scenes are from Spiderman movie! “But they are there, and it is very unusual unless Disney + has a surprise in store for subscribers.
You can see the announcement in the insert below.
Disney, Sony and Spider-Man – It is unusual to see Spiderman scenes in a Disney + ad because Disney doesn’t technically own the Spider-Man movies. Although Spider-Man has been rebooted to join the Avengers on the big screen, Spidey’s solo films are still co-produced by Sony. And as part of Sony’s partnership with Disney, Sony handles the distribution (in theaters, Blu-ray / DVD, and even streaming) of the movies.
With the two movies in an actual Disney + announcement (albeit subtly and when neither movie is actually available to stream at this time) Marvel fans see it as a sign that the movies will be available for streaming on the platform. transmission owned by Disney.
This would be nothing if the Spider-Man scenes came from Disney-owned movies, made by Disney like Captain America: Civil War or Avengers: Infinity War, movies already airing on Disney +. These are Spider-Man movies made by Sony we are talking about. What are they doing in a Disney + ad other than to advertise their presence on the platform?
Spider-Man on Disney + – Fans have suspected that the two Spider-Man MCU movies would be available on Disney + for some time now. In September, Reddit fans spotted an online banner for Disney + that included the poster of Spider-Man: Far From Home. The movie is not yet on Disney + at the time of this writing, and after Reddit saw it, the poster was changed to a different movie. Was it a mistake, or did someone at Disney + slip the news too soon?
For what it’s worth, Disney hasn’t ruled out movies being on Disney + either. When Disney + launched in 2019, Ricky Strauss, Disney + head of content, said The edge that there is a possibility that those films will be shown in the future.
Strauss said:
“We love our friends at Sony, but we have no plans to have the Spider-Man live action movies on Disney + … We will have all the animated Spider-Man shows we made to be in there under the banner of Marvel. But who knows what might happen in the future? “
the Reverse Analysis – While there may be territorial differences when it comes to streaming, it’s still really interesting that scenes from two Sony-produced Spider-Man movies were sneaked into a Disney + ad. Like the banner found on Reddit, this could also be a mistake, or even a slip. Still, it’s enough to fuel fan speculation that Disney + may finally have a more comprehensive collection from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now about the Hulk …
