“Spider-Man: Homecoming” & “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse” Removed From Disney+ (UK)
Last year, Disney made a deal with Sony Pictures that has brought many of the “Spider-Man” films featuring Tom Holland, Toby McGuire and Andrew Garfield, to Disney+ around the world. However, the international availability of these films is in constant flux due to the unique deal that sees many of the films moving around between different platforms.
Following the recent loss of “Venom”, two more films have been removed from Disney+ today, “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse”. They’re now available to view on Sky TV.
Unfortunately, since these films are created and distributed by Sony Pictures, Disney has no control over when or if these films will be returned to Disney+ in the United Kingdom. The films are still available on Disney+ in other countries around the world.
Spider-Man: Homecoming
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero. Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May, under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark. Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine, but when the Vulture emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the creative minds behind The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street, bring their unique talents to a fresh vision of a different Spider-Man Universe, with a groundbreaking visual style that’s the first of its kind. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse introduces Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask.
With Disney+ licensing more films and shows from other companies, we will continue to see titles removed from Disney+, but no doubt, losing “Spider-Man” films hurts subscribers even more! Unlike other streaming services, Disney+ doesn’t inform subscribers in advance. What do you think of these removals? Let us know on social media.
