3 Classic Superhero Movies You Can Stream For Free

by

Superhero movies are the peak of action filmmaking, and luckily, some great classics are available to stream for free. These characters, originally created for comic books, celebrate the best qualities of people and have been a source of fun and escape for many years. It’s no surprise they became popular on the big screen.

I remember when superhero movies first started hitting the big screen – they were charmingly simple, but a lot of fun. Over time, as filmmakers learned to do more with special effects, the visuals really exploded. And let’s be honest, these movies are huge business, consistently delivering some of the biggest box office hits we’ve ever seen. What’s great is you don’t always need a subscription to enjoy them; some of the very best are available to stream for free, even if it means sitting through a few commercials.

Blade (1998) – Pluto TV

Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel movies were known for being grittier and more grounded. One of the first successful Marvel movies was Blade, which centers on a vampire hunter. Wesley Snipes is fantastic in the lead role, and the film’s futuristic, edgy style came out a year before The Matrix.

While Blade isn’t a perfect movie, it’s enjoyable thanks to its exciting fight scenes and mix of action and horror. What really stands out is how unique it is compared to more recent Marvel films. With plans for a new Blade remake stalled, you can watch the original 1990s classic for free on Pluto TV.

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) – The Roku Channel

Following two Spider-Man films made by Columbia Pictures, Marvel Studios finally had the opportunity to create their own Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming. The film follows Peter Parker as he navigates the challenges of being a teenager while also learning to use his powers and facing a new threat. This marked Spider-Man’s official inclusion in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Homecoming was made with the same style and feel as other MCU films.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is a fun, cartoon-inspired movie that skips the typical backstory explanations, jumping right into the action for viewers already familiar with the hero. Tom Holland’s performance as Spider-Man is fresh and energetic, and the film feels both new and comfortably familiar. Notably, it’s one of the few Marvel Cinematic Universe movies available to stream on platforms other than Disney+.

The Dark Knight (2008) – Tubi

Batman is widely considered the most successful superhero in film, and Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight truly cemented his status. Picking up where Batman Begins left off, the movie shows Batman facing off against the unpredictable Joker. The Dark Knight is famous for its realistic, dark tone and for challenging typical superhero movie conventions, but above all, it’s a fantastic film.

While Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies are different from typical superhero films, The Dark Knight is packed with incredible action scenes that are truly memorable. The film proved that superhero movies don’t have to follow the same old patterns and that a director’s unique style can really bring a well-known character to life in a new way.
