Back in October, Netflix wanted to add the longer version of Spider-Man: No Way Home to its catalog. At that time “only” the theatrical version was released. The streaming service announced a separate release of the so-called “More Fun Stuff” version for this Friday. And this time everything worked!
What you can expect from the longer Spider-Man: No Way Home version
The Extended version of No Way Home came to theaters some time after the original version. It is about 13 minutes longer, overall there is only the original version in comparison eight new scenes to marvel at. The film has a running time of 161 minutes.
Just one example of what you’ll also see: One scene shows J. Jonah Jameson (JK Simmons) being briefed by an electrician about Spider-Man’s fight with Electro (Jamie Foxx) and Sandman (Thomas Haden Church). It won’t be much more substantial, but the undertaking is still worth it for fans.
The incredible success of Spider-Man: No Way Home
In the midst of the pandemic, Spider-Man: No Way Home became a phenomenon that reached beyond Marvel borders. spoiler: The return of the old Spider-Men Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield was just a hot rumor for a long time. The blockbuster made the wish come true.

The Sandman and Elecro return
This nostalgic strategy really worked: with grosses of $1.9 billion, No Way Home became the most successful MCU film since Avengers 4: Endgame, itself the most successful superhero film ever.
Part of the revenue is also due to the re-release with the additional scenes. However, most fans flocked to the cinemas in winter 2021 and never came into contact with the version.
What is No Way Home about?
Peter Parker’s (Tom Holland) reputation as the friendly neighborhood spider is destroyed. Quentin Beck took care of that in Part 2. In addition, his true identity as Peter Parker became public. His two lives can no longer be separated.
Desperate, Peter asks Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) for help. A spell is supposed to make the world forget that Peter Parker is actually Spider-Man. However, this intervention in reality has devastating effects on the multiverse.
You can stream the film on Netflix now. The normal version is also available there.
