Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have confirmed that Spider-Man: No Way Home will officially hit digital services on March 22nd.
The film will be available to purchase for $24.99 CAD from platforms like iTunes and Google Play. A 4K UHD/Blu-ray release is set for April 12th.
Alongside the home release dates, Sony dropped a fun image of Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield recreating the popular “pointing Spider-Men” meme.
of course, we got THE meme. #SpiderManNoWayHome swings home on Digital March 22 and on 4K UHD & Blu-ray on April 12!
Spider-Man: No Way Home will swing onto digital platforms on February 28th.
The date appeared on U.S. premium video on demand (PVOD) service Vudu. The big Sony/Marvel blockbuster first opened in theatres on December 17th.
Some fans had been wondering when No Way Home would become available for streaming, especially amid concerns surrounding the Omicron COVID variant. In Canada, theatres in Ontario and Quebec have already been closed for this reason.
Vudu lists the purchase price of No Way Home as $19.99 USD (about $25.34 CAD), so it will likely be $24.99 in Canada on regular PVOD platforms like iTunes, Google Play, the Cineplex Store and Amazon Prime Video.
Picking up immediately where 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home left off, Spider-Man: No Way Home finds Peter Parker grappling with the world finding out he’s Spider-Man. In an effort to make everyone forget, Peter seeks the help of Doctor Strange, only for a botched spell to bring in Spider-Man villains from across the multiverse.
Spider-Man: No Way Home stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Marisa Tomei, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina and Jamie Foxx.
Following the Ontario government’s announcement that the province is moving back into modified step 2 of its reopening plan, the theatre chain, Cineplex, has confirmed that it will temporarily shut down operations.
“Based on recent government directives, all 67 theatres in Ontario will be closed as of Wednesday, January 5, and will reopen as soon as we are allowed,” said Cineplex in a recent Tweet.
Quebec also recently closed theatres amid tightened restrictions related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In Ontario, along with closing theatres, social gathering restrictions will be reduced to five people indoors and ten people outdoors. The capacity at weddings, funerals and religious services will also be limited to 50 percent. Finally, retailers and shopping malls will be allowed 50 percent capacity, and schools will move to remote learning from January 5th to at least January 17th.
With Ontario reporting 4,124 new COVID-19 cases today — a 115 percent increase from last Friday — the provincial government’s recent decision to reinstate capacity limits for some indoor venues, including casinos, movie theatres and entertainment or sports venues, is very necessary.
But what does this mean for avid moviegoers who’ve been waiting to watch Spider-Man: No Way Home and The MatrixResurrections?
Shortly after the Ontario government announced that it would be reinstating capacity restrictions, Cineplex announced that it was reviewing the new guidelines and that ticketholders should keep an eye on their email inbox for further communication from the cinema chain.
Now, Cineplex has disclosed its plans going forward, and, at least at the outset, the situation doesn’t seem that bad for ticketholders.
According to the government’s mandate, the new guidelines only apply to indoor venues with a seating capacity of more than 1,000. Cineplex says that its theatres with less than 1,000 capacity — of which there aren’t many — will not be affected by the new guidelines and movies will play as expected.
For theatres with more than 1,000 seating capacity (the majority of Cineplex cinemas in Ontario), overall seating will be cut by 50 percent.
“To accommodate these new government guidelines in our large theatres, some guests with reserved tickets may be moved to other seats and auditoriums when they arrive onsite to see their movie,” reads Cineplex’s update on Twitter.
Cineplex makes it clear that ticketholders don’t need to cancel/reschedule their tickets. However, they might be moved to a different auditorium to abide by the government guidelines and maintain social distancing.
Cineplex also states that it will “try” to keep groups seated together, though it depends “on the situation when you arrive.”
We'll certainly try to keep you together! It will depend on the situation when you arrive for your showtime.
Ontario is introducing new public health measures following an uptick in COVID-19 infections boosted by the Omicron variant.
The Ontario government has announced that it is reinstating capacity limits for some indoor venues, including casinos, movie theatres and entertainment or sports venues.
The new rules will go into effect on Saturday at 12:01am ET and will see venues with an indoor capacity of more than 1,000 people reduced by 50 percent.
#BREAKING – Starting Saturday at 12:01 a.m, Ontario is introducing capacity limits of 50 per cent for indoor entertainment venues, meeting and event spaces, sports venues with a indoor capacity greater than 1,000 people, as well as movie theaters and casinos.
“This measure is being taken to reduce opportunities for close contact in high-risk indoor settings with large crowds and when masks are not always worn,” a news release from the province said.
With this year’s arguably most anticipated movie Spider-Man: No Way Home releasing on Friday, it’s unclear how these new rules will affect the film’s launch. Cineplex says it’s still reviewing the government’s guidelines.
“For guests with advance tickets, we ask them to keep an eye on their email accounts in the coming days for updates and next steps,” reads Cineplex’s recent Tweet.

The cinema chain is confirming the news several hours after multiple film critics, including Candid Cinema‘s Amanda Guarragi and Untitled Movie Podcast‘s Matt Rorabeck, did so on Twitter. Canadians had been frantically checking Cineplex’s website and social media for word on when tickets would go live well into the early Monday hours. Websites in the U.S., meanwhile, crashed due to the demand, so you may want to prepare for the same from Cineplex.
For nearly two weeks, we’ve known that today, Cyber Monday (“Spider-Monday”), is when tickets for Spider-Man: No Way Home would go live. Over the weekend, many U.S. theatre chains confirmed that they’d have tickets for the MCU Spidey threequel at 12:01am ET, but Cineplex had repeatedly said it couldn’t confirm a date or time for this on its own website. Meanwhile, independent chain Landmark had tickets go live on its own website at midnight.
It’s unclear why Canada’s dominant theatre chain wasn’t aware of when tickets for the year’s biggest movie would go live, but other leading cinema chains were, or even why fans found out the eventual ticket availability timing from film critics first.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is set to open in theatres on December 17th. The film follows Tom Holland’s Spider-Man who, alongside Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) is forced to fight villains from across the multiverse, including Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus and Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin.
After an effort by Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to make the world forget his secret identity goes wrong, Holland’s Peter finds himself coming face to face with villains from previous Spider-Man films.
Sony and Marvel have so far only officially revealed Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2, although the first trailer also points Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin (Spider-Man), Sandman (Thomas Haden Church, Spider-Man 3), The Lizard (Rhys Ifans, The Amazing Spider-Man) and Electro (Jamie Foxx, The Amazing Spider-Man 2). It’s also heavily rumoured that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will reprise their roles as Spider-Man from the Sam Raimi trilogy and Marc Webb duology of Spidey films, respectively.
All of that is to say that No Way Home will draw heavily from Spider-Man films beyond Tom Holland’s own Spider-Man: Homecoming and Far From Home. For that reason, you may want to rewatch some (or even all) of those older movies in the lead-up to No Way Home.
Read on for the full list of where you can stream all seven live-action Spider-Man films in Canada. Of course, these movies can also be rented or purchased from digital storefronts like iTunes and Google Play.
So TL;DR — having Amazon Prime Video covers you for all of Tobey Maguire’s films, while Netflix has both of Tom Holland’s. For Andrew Garfield, though, Netflix only covers his first outing, The Amazing Spider-Man, so those interested in the sequel will either have to bear with ads on CTV.ca or just rent it for $3.99 to $4.99 on the likes of iTunes and Google Play.
Meanwhile, Venom (2018), the first in Sony’s growing universe of Spider-Man-related movies, is streaming on Netflix. The sequel, this year’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage, only just hit theatres last month, so it doesn’t yet have a confirmed streaming release date or specific streaming platform(s). And while unrelated to No Way Home, it’s worth mentioning that Sony Pictures Animation’s Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse can be streamed on Netflix.
Finally, it should be noted that No Way Home‘s long-awaited second trailer will officially release tonight, November 16th. Marvel and Sony are holding a special in-person fan event in Los Angeles to debut the trailer at 5pm PT/8pm ET. Presumably, the trailer will presumably drop online shortly after.
