Explained simply
Spider-Man: Far From Home is a 2019 superhero film about Peter Parker, a teenager who balances ordinary life with his role as Spider-Man. Tom Holland plays Parker, and Jon Watts directed the film after making the earlier Spider-Man: Homecoming.
The character is part of Marvel’s group of interconnected superhero stories, and the film earned more than $1.1 billion in cinemas worldwide. Streaming services can also carry films they do not own through licensing deals, so a Marvel film can appear in a service’s catalogue beyond Disney+. This reflects how streaming libraries draw on titles from different studios.
