The picture shows us the far-reaching effects of the spell cast by Doctor Strange. When Strange magically made the world forget about Peter Parker, he didn’t just erase the boy from memory. He also deleted him from photographs, removing all evidence that he had even existed.

The scene is part of 11 minutes of previously unreleased footage added to the hit film, and, honestly, it’s kind of a bummer. Given the fact that Marvel has dubbed the extended cut The More Fun Stuff Version, viewers can probably expect the other new scenes to be, you know, fun. The addition of Matt Murdock to the movie’s poster has led many to believe that Charlie Cox will have more than one scene in this version. That inclusion tracks with Murdock’s increased visibility in the MCU, as he’ll appear in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Echo, before getting a new and reimagined season of his solo series with Daredevil: Born Again.
But the safest bet is that the extended footage will have much more of the three Peters Parker palling around, which was the most fun part of the original cut (unless you’re one of the aforementioned critics. Behind-the-scenes documentaries have featured the trio being silly together, even doing the obligatory recreation of an infamous Spider-Meme. Chances are that we won’t get more heavy scenes with the dimension-hopping Spiders, which will certainly be disappointing for those hoping to see the domestic bliss Peter Two (Maguire) enjoys with Mary Jane or Peter Three (Garfield) in an emotionally stable place.
