Some scenes were cut for a reason.

The Spider-Man films have plenty of scenes that didn't make the cut. Deleted scenes for the Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man movies can be found here.

    open/close all folders 
    Spider-Man 
  • Spider-Man has a number of deleted subplots and scenes, including the infamous "World Trade Center web" trailer that was pulled from circulation after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks (though there's some debate over whether or not the footage — featuring some bank robbers in a helicopter getting caught in a giant web between the Twin Towers — was actually intended for the film proper). Likewise, there were deleted scenes from early trailers and story descriptions (including a sequence of Peter building mechanical webshooters, which was seen on a trailer that debuted at E3 2001, and a reported cameo by Eddie Brock, who was played by a minor actor) that still haven't been officially released.
  • Stan Lee had a different cameo appearance, in which he originally tried to sell Peter a pair of sunglasses at OsCorp's World Unity Festival. Here he also made reference to the then-recent X-Men movie (establishing that universe as separate from this one).
  • After saving a couple of people by web-yanking them away from the falling debris (which was kept in the movie), Peter was originally seen by a couple of children, who would've given Peter praise for the heroic act. The scene would've ended with Peter shushing the kids about his secret.
  • An alternative scene of Norman talking to his mask was filmed but cut from the film; the only currently available footage from this scene is in the blooper reel.

    Spider-Man 2 
  • Spider-Man 2 had so much deleted content that it was eventually released in an extended version called Spider-Man 2.1. Even then, there's a TV version that has additional scenes that weren't included in the 2.1 cut (including Mary Jane telling Peter about her career and him agreeing to see her play in a more downbeat tone while they're talking outside his house).
  • Mr. Aziz yells a simple "GO" instead of "GooooOOOOO".

    Spider-Man 3 
  • Spider-Man 3 had boatloads of footage cut prior to release, with much of it only being seen in trailers or early screenings. This included more subplots like Sandman's quest to cure his daughter's sickness, an alternate scene of Eddie Brock joining forces with Sandman while the latter is playing with his daughter at a park, a sequence where a distraught Mary Jane speaks to Peter about Harry in his apartment just before she's kidnapped, and much more footage of Peter taking out criminals in the symbiote costume (and being confronted by a nightmarish reflection in his mirror). Some scenes make an appearance in Spider-Man 3: Editor's Cut. The reason Harry's butler waited until 3 to explain how he knew Norman's death was an accident was because a deleted scene showed that he was a hallucination, which fills a major plot gaffe.
    • The movie was originally going start with a boy imitating his hero Spider-Man as his mother retrieves him from the rope he was swinging from in Central Park.
    • An extended fight between Harry and Peter was animatedly shot which was not in the theatrical cut, however it was partially seen in the Comic Con trailer.
    • An alternate version of the Sandman's transformation was shot but unused in the final cut.
    • Peter was going to visit Oscorp to see Harry, trying to bypass an Oscorp receptionist.
    • Several shots of the ceremony for Spider-Man was shot but cut from the film.
    • An extended scene of Spider-Man and Sandman fighting were shot, showing the aftermath and different positioned scenes.
    • According to the novelization, Flint Marko talked to a doctor for his daughter Penny. The doctor, Phil Wallace, asked for more money to cure Penny which leads him to steal money which leads to the subway fight.
    • A shot was shown to see Peter being attached to his suit, but it was cut from the film.
    • There are some extra shots of Eddie Brock photographing black suited Spidey.
    • Later on, an extra shot in the subway fight with Sandman, Spider-Man beating him mercilessly until he was defeated.
    • There was a montage of Spider-Man taking down criminals in his black suit and leaving them strung up.
    • Part of the scene where Peter looks at his reflection in a mirror after returning to his apartment after seemingly killing the Sandman was cut. The cut segment would have shown Peter looking down at the Black Suit under his clothes, then looking up to see his reflection as Venom, which explains him locking the Black Suit away immediately afterwards with an alarmed expression on his face. The Venom model that was used harkened back to the character's original appearance, without fangs or distorted eyes.
    • After exposing Eddie for faking his photos, Spider-Man in his black suit was swinging across New York City in daylight then put it away his suitcase.
    • There are some extra lines said by Norman such as "Why haven't you killed Peter Parker?" and "He took me away from you?", including an extra scene from Harry's hallucination.
    • There is an extra shot of Harry clapping after MJ breaks up with Peter.
    • An extended shot for Peter fighting Harry, a line spoken by Peter was cut from the film.
    • In a quite comical scene after Eddie is fired, when Betty Brant tries to calm Jameson with chimes. The scene was filmed, however it was only shown in a blooper of the film and not in the final cut.
    • A scene with Eddie Brock coming to the Stacy's front porch and begging Gwen to take him back was actually filmed but not included in the final version, mainly since it connects with Gwen being the kidnap victim in the end, which was also cut.
    • Eddie's walk to the church was cut down along with a few other shots.
    • MJ gives a forgiveness speech in the film but was cut, however her lines can be heard in a few trailers.

    • A shot of the symbiote reattaching to Peter.

    • There are some more shots from Harry's death along with some more shots of Peter and Gwen at Harry's funeral.
    • The film was going to end on a final swing but it can assume for budget reasons this had to be cut. A couple of these unfinished shots were from the leaked trailer but never shown in the final cut.
    • Willem Dafoe filmed several scenes as Norman Osborn in Harry's hallucination, but in the final movie only has one.
