The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) isn’t complete without Spider-Man, which is why Sony and Disney have been fighting over the franchise like it’s a child of divorce.
Now, the two big companies have signed a licensing deal that makes Spider-Man films as well as Sony’s other Marvel properties available for streaming on Disney+.
This agreement comes on the heels of a “pay 1 window” deal between Sony and Netflix that lets Netflix stream Sony’s new movies approximately nine months after its theatrical debut.
This makes Sony’s agreement with The House of Mouse a “post-pay 1 window”, meaning that Disney will only be able to stream the movies once they leave Netflix – which we all know, may take a while.
