In the photo above, you can see countless epic moments that were unfortunately shelved for the sake of running time for the two-and-a-half-hour-long movie. However, please take this photo with a grain of salt, as there is no confirmation that it is accurate. But, it’s worth noting that the Lexi Rabe section aligns with her confession that her filmed scenes were cut, as well as early reports of a much longer apartment scene featuring Matt Murdock/Daredevil.

Another thrilling moment that was supposed to occur in No Way Home was Peter Parker’s public hearing, one that Murdock alludes to in Aunt May’s apartment during his brief moments in the current version of the movie.

Here, fans would have witnessed Murdock in action, which every Daredevil fan was hoping for.

Cutting this scene creates a massive plothole, as Peter Parker is theoretically free to go after being framed and most likely charged with the murder of Quentin Beck/Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal).

We never get to see the charges dropped against Peter, leading to confusion and a bit of disappointment among fans.

This isn’t to say that No Way Home isn’t a good Marvel movie because it’s excellent. Considering that massive volume of positive ratings from critics and fans — and the fact that it’s listed among IMDb’s Top 10 movies of all time helps too!

Hopefully, we’ll get to see these deleted scenes in the extended version of the movie on its Blu-Ray release, which is reported to release in Spring 2022. You can pre-order it here.
