Starting Friday, April 21, “Spider-Man” fans in the United States can stream four films featuring the iconic superhero on Disney+, the service announced Thursday. The films include “Spider-Man,” “Spider-Man 2” and “Spider-Man 3,” starring Tobey Maguire, and “The Amazing Spider-Man,” starring Andrew Garfield. Additional films in the “Spider-Man” library, including “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” starring Tom Holland, and “Venom” will be released on Friday, May 12 on the service.

In anticipation of the release, Disney+ released an all-new “Spider-Man” TV spot titled “Welcome Home, Spider-Man,” referencing the four film’s new streaming home after being available on Netflix.

However, in its announcement, Disney+ noted additional titles from Sony Pictures’ film and television library are expected to premiere on Disney+ in the U.S. later this year.
