Spider-Men unite as No Way Home heads to digital and Blu-ray

Add as a preferred source on Google

Spider-Man: No Way Home has yet to leave the top of the box office rankings more than two months after its release. Sony Pictures wisely decided not to rush bringing the film to viewers at home as it continues to rack up money. But at last, the time has come for No Way Home to get a digital and Blu-ray release. And to make the announcement, Sony turned to three generations of Spider-Men: Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire.

No Way Home‘s digital debut will occur on March 22. Fans will have to wait a little bit longer if they want a physical copy. The Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD release is dropping on April 12. And in a cheeky touch, Sony shared this never-before-seen pic of Garfield, Holland, and Maguire recreating a famous Spider-Man meme.

For context, the meme was born out of this scene from the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon.

In the episode it came from, Spidey confronted his evil imposter, who was actually the Chameleon in disguise. Ironically, Sony’s Kraven the Hunter movie reportedly cast Fred Hechinger as Chameleon earlier this week.

Sony hasn’t specified which special features will be included with No Way Home. However, there is a teaser video that promises 20 additional minutes with Peter 2 and Peter 3, as played by Maguire and Garfield, respectively.

Viewers who prefer to skip physical media and rely on streamers will also be able to get their chance to watch No Way Home. While Sony is currently under contract with Netflix for films coming out in 2022, No Way Home falls under the studio’s deal with STARZ. And that means STARZ will be able to premiere No Way Home on its app and its cable channel later this year.

China just gave Hollywood a cautionary tale about AI filmmaking. Sanxingdui: Future Past, billed as the country's first fully AI-generated movie, hit theaters on October 23 and bombed at the box office.

According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.

Grok’s AI-generated Odyssey series is seven minutes of nothing happening beautifully
The landscapes look convincing. The fake Hugh Jackman and Instagram-face amalgamation playing Penelope are harder to forgive.
Uniform ships Odyssey by Grok

Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.

What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
