The ‘Spider-Man 2' Extended Edition Is Finally Swinging Into Theaters
Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man trilogy is heading back into theaters once more, but this time things will look slightly different for the webslinger. For the first time, the home-release exclusive extended edition of Spider-Man 2 will be part of the theatrical release. Today Fathom Events announced that Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films will return to theaters for a limited time beginning September 26. All three movies will screen in 4K, but for the first time, the version of Spider-Man 2 hitting theaters is actually the 2007 extended cut of the film. Put out on DVD in 2007 in the run-up to Spider-Man 3's release, Spider-Man 2.1 features eight minutes of new footage integrated into the theatrical cut, extending multiple sequences in the film while also including a few brand-new scenes and alternate takes. Including, yes, that deleted scene of J. Jonah Jameson putting on the Spidey suit in his office to strike a few poses. The 2.1 cut has been available on home release ever since, including the Blu-ray releases of the trilogy, but the new theatrical run will mark the first time fans get to actually see it on the big screen. Maybe it'll make the wait for Brand New Day go a little quicker? Tickets for the Spider-Man trilogy are available starting July 25 through Fathom Events, with screenings of the trilogy taking place on September 26, 27, and 28, and with a follow-up run on October 3, 4, and 5.

'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' Rumored To Bring Back Fan-Favorite MCU Character
The long wait for the fourth Spider-Man movie set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is finally paying off. The highly-anticipated follow-up to Spider-Man: No Way Home , now titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day , is on the fast-track for production. Now a rumor suggests that a fan-favorite MCU character will be brought back for the Spider-Man sequel. While there are several characters that have frequently been part of the Spider-Man film saga, we know all too well that plans can change as easily as they come together. As such, fans are never too certain when a character will come back or be dropped out completely. Fortunately, if this rumor is to be believed, one such Marvel character will be retained for the fourth installment. Obviously, given that this is a rumor, it should be taken with a grain of salt. Though it wouldn't exactly be a stretch. According to a new rumor, fans will get to see a familiar face that goes way back to Sam Raimi's original Spider-Man trilogy which starred Tobey Maguire as the titular superhero. Specifically, Daniel Richtman claims that actor J.K. Simmons will be back as J. Jonah Jameson in Spider-Man: Brand New Day . The actor previously portrayed Jameson in all three installments of Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy before being brought back in a surprising role for 2021's Spider-Man: Far From Home . This paved the way for other familiar Raimi characters to appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home . It would certainly be exciting to have Simmons come back as his iconic character for the new Spider-Man film, not only because it provides a nice lineage of history to the Raimi trilogy, but he's always been a fantastic choice for Jameson. It'll also be a nice example of continuity for a film that is expected to have Peter Parker's life change quite a bit including the supporting characters around him. Fans will be able to see Spider-Man: Brand New Day including its returning and new characters when it hits theaters on July 31, 2026. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional Marvel Cinematic Universe updates as we have them.
