  • ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home: The More Fun Stuff Version’ is Coming to Philippine Cinemas

    Columbia Pictures PH has officially announced on social media that Spider-Man: No Way Home: The More Fun Stuff Version is coming to Philippine cinemas this September 7!

    The upcoming rerelease of the hit Marvel Studios movie will include 11 minutes of more content, as revealed by Fandango. While the context of these new scenes is still under wraps, big fans of the franchise would surely want to catch this new cut in theaters.

    Released in the Philippines back in January, Spider-Man: No Way Home officially brought together the three actors who played Spider-Man in one flick: Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire. The film followed Holland’s Peter Parker as he tried to undo the damage caused by Mysterio who revealed his true identity to the public.

    Parker seeks the help of Doctor Strange who casts a spell for people to forget what happened, but this spell cracks open the multiverse, pulling some of the most notable villains from past Spider-Man films into their universe. Alongside these villains, Peter Parker also found new allies in the form of the two other Peter Parkers who were pulled into his universe as well.

    Directed by Jon Watts, the film also stars Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Jamie Foxx, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, and Marisa Tomei. You can also stream Spider-Man: No Way Home on Netflix.
