Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) runs 148 minutes (2 hours 28 minutes) in its original theatrical cut. It includes a mid-credits scene and a post-credits scene, and it is available in standard and extended versions.
A mid-credits scene plays partway through the credits, while a post-credits scene plays at the very end. The extended cut, called The More Fun Stuff Version, runs about 159 minutes (2 hours 37 minutes). That difference affects planning, credits viewing, and which disc or file to buy.

How Long Is the Original Cut?
Collider lists the original theatrical cut at 148 minutes in its rerelease runtime report. Collider also identifies Jon Watts as director and Dec. 17, 2021 as the U.S. release date.
Runtime here means the feature itself, not trailers or preshow material. The same 148-minute length underpins both major ratings. The British Board of Film Classification, cited by 25th Frame, lists the film at 148m with a 12A cinema rating. The U.S. Classification and Rating Administration, cited by Comic Book Resources, rated it PG-13 for sequences of action and violence, some language, and brief suggestive comments.
What Plays During the Credits?
The original release has two tags, according to Screen Rant in its end-credits explainer. The mid-credits scene follows Eddie Brock and Venom as Brock learns about the MCU. Doctor Strange's spell then sends him back, but a small piece of symbiote remains behind.
The post-credits item in the original cut is a trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Staying through both points matters because the first sets up symbiote story potential. The second points directly toward the next Strange film.
What Changes in The More Fun Stuff Version?
Collider reports that the 2022 reissue adds 11 minutes of new and deleted footage in its breakdown of the added scenes. That addition brings total runtime to about 159 minutes. The extra minutes come from extended and restored material, not a reshot ending.
The reissue also changes the final tag, according to Screen Rant in its More Fun Stuff credits report. It keeps the Venom mid-credits scene. It replaces the Doctor Strange 2 trailer with a new post-credits scene, so viewers expecting the original trailer will not see it.
Which Copy Should You Buy or Rent?
Sony Pictures Entertainment lists standard home formats as Digital, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD, plus the Extended Version now on Digital. That catalog split means two products can look similar on a shelf or store page.
Buyers must check which cut a disc or file contains. Use the packaging details before paying, especially for gifts or franchise marathons: Check runtime on the back cover or product details screen as the final tiebreaker.
- Look for The More Fun Stuff Version or Extended Version for the 159-minute cut.
- Look for the original or theatrical wording for the 148-minute cut.
- Confirm Digital extras separately, because bonus scenes and trailers can vary by retailer.
