While movies like Spider-Man: Far From Home And Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness having consolidated 20 years of superhero storytelling into one centralized multiverse, the Marvel Studios streaming game is still broken and everywhere. The main Marvel Cinematic Universe movies have a home on Disney Plus, but Sony’s streaming deals have shifted Netflix’s Spider-Man movies to Amazon Prime and beyond, while Fox’s X-Men license and Universal’s ownership of The Incredible Hulk means some movies are just lost in limbo.

But Disneyplus announced on Thursday that at least two of the worlds are collapsing into the main hub: A handful of Spider-Man and Venom movies will finally hit the platform in addition to the MCU movies this spring.

Sam Raimi’s first trilogy, consisting of Spider-Man, spider man 2, spider man 3, are all coming to Disney Plus on April 21. The deal will be led by Andrew Garfield The awesome Spider-Man go to the collection on the same day so defenders can have their moment to explain why it’s actually good.

Then on May 12 Sony’s MCU adjacent Spider Man: Coming Home, as well as the technically-MCU-adjacent-because-of-that-one-post-credits scene venom come to Disney Plus. And what do you think Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Far From HomeAnd Venom: Let there be carnage? A press release for the announcement promises that “additional titles from Sony Pictures’ film and television library are expected to premiere on Disney Plus in the US later this year.”

As for future Spider-Man installments, don’t expect them to premiere directly on Disney Plus – Sony’s continued involvement with the franchise means there will always be hoops to jump through. But Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige recently promised that a new chapter featuring Tom Holland’s Peter Parker is in the works.

“All I’m saying is we’ve got the story,” Feige said during press rounds for the upcoming one Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. “We have big ideas for that, and our writers are just putting pen to paper now.”
