It wouldn’t be another day at Disney if major news wasn’t breaking.
In addition to several Spider-Man movies finally finding a home at Disney Plus (it only took four years!), the company seems to have ironed out the cavernous wrinkles from Victoria Alonso’s new trailer? And if that weren’t enough, we have a new Haunted Mansion poster. So, let’s dive in.
Spider-Man is finally swinging onto Disney Plus, and not just Tom Holland’s Peter Parker
In the four years since Disney Plus launched in 2019, all eight Spider-Man movies have remained confusingly separate from all of Marvel’s other superhero films. However, thanks to a long-term contractual agreement between Sony and Marvel, that’s finally changing.
Come April 21, all of Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man movies will be available to stream on Disney Plus. Andrew Garfield’s The Amazing Spider-Man too, but only the first one.
As for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker — Spider-Man: Homecoming will swing onto the platform a couple of weeks after its predecessors on May 12. Only Homecoming, though. Disney did not specify why or when Far From Home and No Way Home will follow suit, but we’re hoping it’ll happen sooner rather than later. In the meantime, we’ll take the win where we can get it.
Here’s a breakdown of all the Spider-Man movies coming to Disney Plus along with their release dates.
Disney reaches a multimillion-dollar settlement with former VFX chief, Victoria Alonso, who was shockingly let go after 17 years
When it was discovered that Marvel Studios let go of former VFX chief Victoria Alonso, the fandom had only one word: “Uh-oh.” While the ordeal has been unclear as Marvel’s future.
Tinker Bell is both all the range and all the controversy in the new Peter Pan & Wendy, but one thing is certain — Yara Shahidi sparkles as bright as pixie dust
There have been over a dozen Peter Pan movies in the last 100 years (yes, 100). Yet, Disney’s Peter Pan & Wendy is receiving the most controversy out of all of them, and steadfast in her belief that this version of the movie tells “a story that feels reflective of the times that we’re in.” She also says “every change was extremely intentional.”
Plus, her version of Tink draws some major inspiration from Julia Roberts’, so it’s basically guaranteed to be good.
Peter Pan & Wendy is just one of many attempts by Disney to reignite another Renaissance. Whether it succeeds is still up in the air, but one thing is certain — we’ll be here to let you know. Stay tuned for more news and updates.
