While there’s been no confirmation that the project is actually happening, fans can at least enjoy the entire Maguire trilogy on the Disney-owned Hulu streaming service starting today, August 1, 2022. Many viewers would argue that these are among the best movies in the entire Marvel catalog, so this is great news for fans of the franchise.
Alongside the Spider-Man films, Hulu has landed what is arguably Marvel’s all-time worst movie — 20th Century Studios’ X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009). Despite starring popular leading man Hugh Jackman, the film fell flat with both critics and movie goers.
At that time, an article pointed out, both 20th Century Studios films have garnered their fair share of controversy over the years:
Both of these movies have vocal critics and people who absolutely love them. With both the Fantastic Four and the mutants on the horizon for the MCU, it’s probably important for Marvel to get fans more familiar with the characters. It might not seem like people would need reminding about Marvel’s first family or the X-Men, but it’s been years since either property had a treatment on the big screen.
Joining Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), the official description of Spider-Man: No Way Home reads:
For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life from the high-stakes of being a Super Hero. When he asks for help from Doctor Strange the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.
