Ahead of its U.S. release later this month, Spider-Man: No Way Home arrived on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K in the UK yesterday. Of course, you'll already know that the blockbuster's Digital debut didn't include any deleted scenes, with the expectation being that those would be saved for physical platforms (how better to entice fans to buy the movie on Digital and Blu-ray in the space of a few weeks?).
Well, those in the UK who rushed out to nab their copies of the threequel yesterday were disappointed to discover that the deleted scenes were M.I.A. Remember, when the Blu-ray was announced, we were told that it would include five deleted scenes totalling over 15 minutes of unseen footage.
The titles of the scenes are "Interrogation Scene Extended," "Peter Day at Midtown High," "Undercroft Montage," "Happy's Very Good Lawyer," and "The Spideys Hang Out." Obviously, the latter was set to reveal more footage of the three Spider-Men meeting each other for the first time, but not a single one of these scenes were included for British fans of the web-slinger to enjoy.
It's currently unclear whether these will be on the U.S. Blu-ray, but there could be a good reason if they're not. Speculation has been running rampant for a while now that an extended cut of Spider-Man: No Way Home will be released in theaters, and an additional 15 minutes of footage would be a good way to convince fans that it's worth heading back to their local multiplex to relive this adventure.
We'll be sure to keep you updated on this one as we learn more.
