Important MCU Movie Is Missing From Disney Plus
With all of their deals and acquisitions in place, some of the rights issues surrounding certain films can be tricky, and that means a few titles have the tendency to bounce back and forth between streaming services. This happens to be the case with one MCU movie that fans would absolutely love to have on Disney Plus. Unfortunately, it just isn't available – though that could change in the future.
Interestingly, it is available to stream elsewhere, thanks to the complicated rights issues behind the film. While it's unclear when or if it could appear on Disney Plus, it does seem likely that everything will be sorted out with the mere passage of time.
This film, of course, is none other than Spider-Man: No Way Home . The 2021 Spider-Man sequel was released just prior to a deal made between Disney Plus and Sony Pictures which would make Disney Plus the home for Sony's Spider-Man movies. Unfortunately, the deal only covers films released in 2022, which means Spider-Man: No Way Home just barely missed the cutoff by being released in December 2021.
Sony also has deals in place with Netflix which can complicate things further. As for now, the formula seems to be that a Spider-Man movie released by Sony will hit theaters, then nine months later Netflix will offer the title for streaming. The film will stay on Netflix for a total of 18 months before Disney Plus will then host the title.
Due to the time in which the deals were made, Spider-Man: No Way Home actually has a streaming home on Starz for the time being. It's been available on the platform since January 14, 2024. If one applies the 18 month rule from their Netflix deal, however, then that would make the film available to leave on July 14, 2025. It remains to be seen if the title actually will – especially since Disney Plus hasn't made any suggestion that they'll be acquiring No Way Home or that Starz will be losing it – but it's definitely something to look out for.
As such, we'll have to see where the licensing rights behind Spider-Man: No Way Home take the film next. Fortunately, it could very well be Disney Plus once the time is right. The MCU movie will then be at home with all of the other titles tied to the franchise. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates as we have them.

Michelle Obama wishes a happy 64th birthday to ‘the coolest guy I know'
Michelle Obama wished a happy birthday to the 'coolest' man she knows. Fortunately for Barack Obama, the former first lady was referring to him. 'Happy birthday to my love, my best friend, my everything! @BarackObama, even after all these years, you're still the coolest guy I know,' she wrote on Instagram Monday night. The 44th president turned 64 on Monday, and thanked his wife and her 57 million Instagram users for their birthday wishes. 'Love you, Miche! And thanks everybody for all the birthday wishes,' the two-term commander-in-chief responded. His 61-year-old wife posted the same message on her Instagram Story, though that post was accompanied by audio of Stevie Wonder singing his 1980 song 'Happy Birthday.' She recently shut down rumors that she and her husband of nearly 33 years were having marital problems because gossips don't see a lot of photos of them together these days. 'It's like, 'OK, so we don't Instagram every minute of our lives. We are 60,' she told NPR's 'Wild Card' podcast. 'We're 60, y'all. You just are not gonna know what we're doing every minute of the day.' _____

‘Fantastic Four' Final Weekend Box Office Worse Than First Estimated
The Fantastic Four: First Steps' final box office numbers for its second frame ended up being even lower than its already disastrous projected take. On Sunday, the likes of Deadline, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter all projected that the film would earn $40 million domestically in its second Friday to Sunday frame, a 66% drop from its first weekend of $115.6 million in business from July 25-27. As it turns out, even those estimates were a bit too generous. Box office trackers The Numbers and Box Office Mojo both reported the final weekend numbers on Monday for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and the film ended up earning $38.6 million from Aug. 1-3, which is a 67% drop in business. To date, The Numbers and Box Office Mojo reported, The Fantastic Four: First Steps has earned $197.1 million domestically and $170.2 million internationally for a worldwide tally of $367.4 million. Directed by Matt Shakman and starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, The Fantastic Four: First Steps had a production budget of $200 million-plus, according to Variety, but its marketing spend has not been divulged. 'Superman' Appears To Be On Its Way To Winning The 2025 Superhero Box Office Crown Given The Fantastic Four's significant drop in business in its second weekend, it appears that Warner Bros.' Superman from director James Gunn is well on its way to being the top superhero movie of 2025. The first release from Warner Bros.' DC Studios — where Gunn and Peter Safran serve as its co-CEOs — Superman earned $125 million domestically in its opening weekend from July 11-13. Luckily for Gunn and Safran, Superman's business only dropped by 53% in the film's second weekend in theaters as it pulled in a healthy $58.4 million from July 18-21. Per Variety, Superman had a production budget of $225 million and $100 million was spent on marketing. As of Monday, per The Numbers and Box Office Mojo, Superman has earned $316 million domestically and nearly $235 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $551 million. Starring David Corenswet in the title role, Superman's box office gross to date far exceeds the global grosses of the first and second superhero movies released in 2025. Both released by Disney Marvel, Captain America: Brave New World finished with a global tally of $413.6 million ($200.5 million domestically and $213.1 million internationally). Thunderbolts*, meanwhile, has earned $382.4 million globally ($190.2 million domestically and $192.1 million internationally) to date. The film is close to being done with its theatrical run, however, having only played in 20 venues over the weekend.
