Sony Releasing Extended Spider Man No Way Home With New Footage

As Marvel Studios’ release of Avengers Endgame: Encore proves, blockbuster movies can still dominate the box office after a multibillion dollar run. Sony plans a rerelease of Spider-Man: Brand New Day to bring audiences back to movie theaters. Similar to Endgame: Encore, the studio adds new footage of Spider-Man‘s latest flick as an incentive.

According to Deadline, the new footage includes at least one cut cameo from Spider-Man: Brand New Day that connects to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Deadline reports that Sony’s planned theatrical rerelease of Spider-Man: Brand New Day features extra footage with an appearance from Rosario Dawson’s character Claire Temple, also known as Night Nurse. Dawson played Temple in multiple Netflix Marvel shows including Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders. The Night Nurse had her own Marvel comic series in the early seventies, tending to the medical needs of New York City vigilantes although that version of the character was named Linda Carter.

Dawson stated in interviews that she filmed a scene cut from the theatrical release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Deadline’s report indicates Sony has more than just a Claire Temple cameo in store, noting that additional surprises wait in the extra footage.

Sony’s Spider-Man rerelease history

This is not the first time Sony rereleased a Tom Holland-starring Spider-Man movie in theaters. The studio previously released an extended cut of Spider-Man: Far From Home and a More Fun Stuff Version of Spider-Man: No Way Home containing deleted scenes.

The Spider-Man: Brand New Day rerelease will boost the film box office haul, which currently stands at $2.5 billion according to Box Office Mojo. Brand New Day is the highest-grossing movie at the domestic box office to date with $958 million after two months in theaters. It ranks as the third-highest-grossing movie worldwide behind the original Avatar and Avengers: Endgame. The rerelease will not push Brand New Day past the top spot because the film remains $428 million behind James Cameron’s Avatar.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day plays in theaters now and returns for another theatrical run soon.
