Looks like audiences still haven’t had enough ofSpider-Man: No Way Home. The insanely successful film that launched a thousand fanfics is gearing up for another run in the theaters. But this time, it’s bringing some more fun stuff.
Fittingly, that’s also the name the upcoming rerelease has received.Spider-Man: No Way Home: The More Fun Stuff Versionwill return to theaters in just a few short months, and odds are it’ll be packed with plenty of new content to keep things fresh even for those dedicated fans whose viewing numbers may have reached the double digits. Announced in a short but very sweet video featuring the 3 biggest stars of the film, the new cut of the film looks like it’ll be exactly the kind of fun escapism that everybody needs right now.

The movie’s official Twitter account made the announcement, heralding the occasion with a shortappearance from Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield being their charming selves. Putting on an “I’m Spider-Man” “No, I’m Spider-Man” bit that they’re surely not tired of by now, the trio doesn’t mince words before a clip from the movie plays to slyly tie into the new version. “We should do this again,” Garfield’s Spider-Man says, before Maguire’s Spider-Man replies, “you got it,” with a chuckle. It all comes to a head with a reveal of the “new” title and the release date. Naturally, it all closes out with the “pointing Spider-Man” meme featuring Garfield, Holland, and Maguire. Why not?
Frankly, it makes perfect sense that this would happen.Given the nature ofSpider-Man: No Way Homeand the presence of so many big nostalgic moments, it would be more shocking to find out that there weren’t any substantial deleted scenes. Even some of the ones that found their way into the final cut apparently took many takes to get right. So maybe even some alternate takes could make an appearance this time around.
This is a significant moment for Marvel Studios since it’s not often that they release new versions of their films. In fact, the more common occurrence is just a quiet confirmation from the people involved that some scenes were cut. That’s not even to mention the plethora of deleted scenes that often surface in the weeks and months after any given movie’s release. EvenMoon Knightapparently had some big crossovers cutfrom the series.
So does this mean the new cut is canon? Or is it just a fun little alternate take? Maybe the new scenes won’t change much and will instead simply add more to what’s already there. If that’s the case, then bring on the content. Perhaps a successful theatrical run will inspire Marvel Studios to do this again in the future. Sounds like pretty easy money for them.
Spider-Man: No Way Home: The More Fun Stuff Versionwill release in theaters on September 2nd, 2022.
