One deleted scene from Spider-Man: No Way Home brings back a character we last saw in Avengers: Endgame. Now playing in theaters, Spider-Man: No Way Home is almost a Marvel party with all of the characters that come into the fray, but not everyone who was planned to appear made it to the final cut. We now know of at least one person who was taken out of the theatrical release, but perhaps the scene will be on the Blu-ray.
In Avengers: Endgame, child actress Lexi Rabe played Morgan Stark, the five-year-old daughter of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). While she doesn't say what her scene would have entailed, or which other actors she may have been working with, Rabe revealed with a new post on Instagram that her part in Spider-Man: No Way Home was deleted. The good news is she still had the time of her life at the premiere and didn't seem to mind that her part got axed.
Rabe's post includes a slideshow of her posing in photos with many key members of Spider-Man: No Way Home from both sides of the camera. That includes several of the actors, such as Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Favreau, Benedict Cumberbatch, Marisa Tomei, Jamie Foxx, J. K. Simmons, Benedict Wong, and Willem Dafoe. She also can be seen with Kevin Feige and the Russo Brothers, the directors of Endgame.
This makes you wonder who else may have been deleted from Spider-Man: No Way Home's final cut, though the writers did say they were able to include all of the villains they wanted from their wish list. The hook of the new movie is that Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Peter Parker (Tom Holland) fracture the multiverse in an attempt to rewrite recent history. This opens the door for villains from other worlds who've died fighting Spider-Man variants to set their sights on Holland's Peter, giving the web-slinger his biggest challenge yet. Alfred Molina's Doc Ock, Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin, and Jamie Foxx's Electro are some of the many returning characters from other universes to appear in the new movie.
Marvel Studios and Sony are also noticing the immense success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which netted the second-best opening of all time. It just might have gotten the number one spot if not for the pandemic and other factors. In any case, there are already early plans on Spider-Man 4, as producers Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal want to keep this train moving while it's picking up so much steam.
"Amy and I and Disney and Sony are talking about — yes, we’re actively beginning to develop where the story heads next, which I only say outright because I don’t want fans to go through any separation trauma like what happened after Far From Home. That will not be occurring this time,” Feige recently said while speaking with the New York Times.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is now playing in movie theaters everywhere, drawing in universal praise from fans and critics alike.
