Disney Plus’ Marvel roster is inching its way towards completion. Today Ant-Man and the Wasp was added to the service, leaving just three absentees from its MCU line-up. Those no-shows are The Incredible Hulk, and both MCU Spider-Man movies.
Where are they currently residing? Well, The Incredible Hulk is available to stream on Now TV, so that’s simple enough. But curiously, neither Spider-Man: Homecoming nor Far From Home are available to stream anywhere. That’s almost certainly down to outstanding agreements with Sony. Spider-Man has far and away the most complicated licensing history of any major Marvel character. Getting him in the MCU was hard enough – keeping him there proved to be an even more fraught exercise. So no, unfortunately it doesn’t look likely we’ll be seeing the web-slinger at the House of Mouse anytime soon.
On the flipside, as soon as The Incredible Hulk’s Now TV deal elapses, one imagines it’ll be headed straight to Disney Plus. OK, it’s nobody’s favourite Marvel movie, but hey, completionists want their franchises complete, not nearly complete. Edward Norton spends the film riffing on his skinny schizoid white guy persona from Fight Club. If it sounds like I’m reaching for new angles on a low-key Marvel movie, it’s because I am.
Perhaps you’ve got more to say. Leave a comment below with your thoughts on any of Disney Plus‘ 3 missing MCU movies. Going out and buying them is still an option, or staying in and ordering for that matter. Apropos of nothing in this paragraph, I still find it surprising that Sony haven’t made their own foray into the streaming market yet. With Warner and Disney both making their plays in the last year, it rather feels like they’ve missed the boat.
