When will fans be able to see Spider-Verse 2 via streaming, digital download, Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD?
The Miles Morales-directed sequel hits theaters five years after the critically acclaimed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse captured the hearts of fans worldwide.
Across the Spider-Verse is spawning an animated series featuring several new Spider-People from Miguel O’Hara’s multiversal gang known as Spider-Man 2099 starring Oscar Isaac.
The story will be published in March 2018 in Beyond the Spider-Verse. Spider-Verse 2 is the first installment of a two-part event, with The Spot as the main antagonist.

Spider-Verse 2: When Will It Start Streaming?
After ending its pay-one streaming partnership with Starz in April 2021, Sony signed a multi-year deal with Netflix to bring the popular streamer all its new movies after theatrical and home releases starting in 2022.
As a result, Netflix is expected to be all over the initial Spider-Verse streaming platform, but when will it actually launch there?
The theatrical-to-broadcast window for its three biggest films in the previous year ranged from a low of 120 days for Bullet Train to 175 days for Uncharted.
These release dates mean that viewers can watch Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse on Netflix starting in late September. Or, if the Spider-Man movie follows Uncharted’s lead, audiences will have to wait until late November.
Meanwhile, no prominent streamer is currently offering its predecessor, Into the Spider-Verse. However, it is now accessed through Sling, FXNow, and Fubo TV.
When will Disney+ Spider-Verse 2 air?
Starting with its 2022 theatrical schedule, Across the Spider-Verse will premiere on Netflix for the first time, with Sony and Disney signing a deal to “bring Spider-Man and other Marvel properties” to Disney+.
Due to its agreement with Sony, Netflix was granted exclusive streaming rights to Sony movies for the first 18 months of their release window. After that year-and-a-half period, competing streamers will also be able to access Sony movies.
Morpheus was the only Marvel movie Sony made last year, and since it became available on Netflix in September, it will remain exclusive until March 2024, when it’s expected to be added to Disney+.
Spider-Verse 2 won’t be on Disney+ until 2025, as it’s unlikely to be available on Netflix until September and November.

Prediction on the Release Date for Spider-Verse 2
The film will have its initial home distribution tour via 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and digital sales before being available on Netflix or Disney+.
Comparing Uncharted and 65 to other recent Sony blockbuster movies, Morbius and Bullet Train came 74 days after opening in theaters in 81 days and one week, respectively.
These trends suggest that Spider-Verse 2 will be released on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD in mid-August.
For digital distribution, these figures vary drastically between 28 and 67 days. Sony seems to have a tendency to give away its blockbusters in longer theatrical runs for digital release windows.
As Spider-Verse 2 is expected to be a huge success at the box office and has received great initial reviews, its digital release will likely take place later than planned, most likely in late July or early August.
