Spider-Man: Brand New Day is reportedly returning to cinemas on December 4, with extra footage and a slightly different title.
The extended version, listed as Spider-Man: (Brand New) Brand New Day, is expected to include around seven to 10 minutes of material that did not appear in the original theatrical release.
The announcement, shared by Marvel Updates and attributed to AMC Theatres, comes just two weeks before Avengers: Doomsday arrives in cinemas on December 18. While the new scenes have not been fully revealed, the re-release could give viewers another look at moments that were removed during editing, including a scene involving Rosario Dawson’s Claire Temple.

What is different about the extended version?
The biggest change is the additional footage. AMC’s listing reportedly gives the extended version a runtime of two hours and 32 minutes, around seven minutes longer than the original cut.
However, the announcement circulating on X describes the extra material as approximately 10 minutes, so the final runtime may become clearer when Sony provides more details.
The new title, Spider-Man: (Brand New) Brand New Day, also gives the re-release a playful difference from the version that arrived in cinemas in July. It is not an entirely new Spider-Man film, but an expanded version of Tom Holland’s fourth solo outing as the character.
Sony has not provided a complete breakdown of the additional scenes. One likely inclusion, however, is Rosario Dawson’s appearance as Claire Temple, the nurse and former ally of several Marvel street-level heroes.
Rosario Dawson’s cut scene could finally appear
Dawson filmed scenes for Brand New Day as Claire Temple, but her appearance did not make the final theatrical cut. According to TheWrap’s September report, the character was originally involved in a hospital sequence with Peter Parker after an encounter with the Punisher.
The scene was reportedly replaced with one involving Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle, which helped strengthen the emotional impact of the moment. The extended release could finally show viewers the version featuring Claire, although Sony has yet to confirm exactly which deleted scenes will be restored.
There are other possibilities. Some scenes shown in the film’s trailers did not appear in the theatrical version, while director Destin Daniel Cretton previously told TheWrap that an earlier version of the film ran about 30 minutes longer during testing.
That does not mean all the missing material will return, but it suggests there is more footage available than the few minutes being added.
Could the re-release set up Avengers: Doomsday?
The release date puts the extended film in cinemas shortly before Avengers: Doomsday. Marvel has already used additional theatrical footage to build anticipation for the next Avengers film. Its recent Avengers: Endgame Encore re-release, for example, included new material connected to Doomsday.
That has encouraged speculation that the Spider-Man re-release could contain a similar tease. The original Brand New Day already ends with a post-credits sequence that leaves questions about Spider-Man’s next appearance, including a suggestion that he could be heading into space.
