To help you navigate all of this, we’ve assembled a complete guide to where the Marvel Cinematic Universe stands in the streaming wars. From Iron Man to Endgame, to Black Widow, it’s all here.
Spider-Man and Venom movies, streaming
For now, because Spidey is still on loan to Marvel/Disney from Sony, the vast majority of Spidey movies are kind of hard to stream. However, all the older Spider-Man movies are suddenly relevant because many characters from those films — like Doc Ock — are crossing over into the MCU thanks to multiverse shenanigans. So, here’s where the “old” Spider-Men are streaming.
Spider-Man (2002)
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Spider-Man 3 (2007)
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Black Widow is now streaming “for free”
You may have heard that Black Widow — a movie about Black Widow that happens before the events of Infinity War — skipped theaters and went straight to Disney+. This was true. For a while, Black Widow was only watchable on Disney+ with that $29.99 extra fee. But that’s not the case anymore. As of now, Black Widow is streaming “for free” with a regular Disney+ subscription.
When can you stream Shang-Chi?
Marvel’s first post-pandemic theatrical-only release was Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. As of now, Shang-Chi is slated to hit Dinsey+ (with no extra frees) on November 12, 2021. That’s one week after Eternals hits theaters! What about everything else? Here’s where the rest of the Marvel Studios movies are online right now.

To be clear, Spidey might never show up on Disney+. In theory, he’s on loan from Sony, which means he isn’t really someone Disney can grab. But, there are a bunch of Spider-Man cartoons on Disney+!

Black Panther
Right now Black Panther is not on Disney+. It will be in March of 2020.
Avengers: Infinity War
The most essential movie to rewatch before Endgame is obviously its first chapter, Infinity War. Luckily the snappy epic (see what we did there?) is streaming for free on Netflix. It’s not on Disney+ yet, but it will be on in June of 2020.
Ant-Man and the Wasp
The comedic follow-up to Infinity War will oddly be essential to understanding why Ant-Man is in Endgame at all. Luckily, this one is also on Netflix. It’s not on Disney+ yet but will be in July 2020.
Captain Marvel

Avengers: Endgame
