Spidey Swings Back for One More Lap

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is heading back to theaters with an extended cut. The new footage restores Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple, the nurse from Daredevil and Luke Cage who was cut from the original release.

Brand New Day is now the highest-grossing movie ever at the domestic box office, and Sony is following Avengers: Endgame Encore with a re-release of its own. Claire Temple's scene is the headline addition, though more footage is expected alongside it. Frank thinks the extended cut would land better as a streaming debut than as another theatrical run, with Avengers: Doomsday arriving in December and fans already locked in for it.
