ALL THREE Peter Parkers — played by Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire — are swinging back into theaters with the re-release of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Arriving in Philippine cinemas on Sept. 7, Spider-Man: No Way Home will feature extended scenes and 11 minutes of never-before-seen footage.

The movie’s first release back in January saw theaters with seating capacity limited and children still not allowed outside their homes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the re-release, fans who were unable to experience the movie on the big screen will now have a chance to. The film is directed by Jon Watts, written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, and based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
