Spider-Man (2002)
Thirteen scenes from Spider-Man which were seen in various sources such as “behind-the-scenes” featurettes and photos, trailers, TV advertisements, promotional videos, art concepts, blooper reel, exterior and interior shots from the Sony Pictures Stock Footage website and features from the DVD extras, were Peter Parker apologizes to Flash for accidentally throwing food at him, Peter developing his mechanical web shooters, Wrestler Spider-Man puts his second glove on, Peter parks his uncle’s car at home, Peter enters Manhattan by taking the train, Eddie Brock comes out of Jameson’s office and confronts Peter, Stan Lee selling sunglasses at the World Unity Festival in Times Square, two children witnesses Peter saving two couples from a falling material from the collapsing balcony, Mary Jane says “Wow” after being saved by Spider-Man from where she fell of from the balcony, an exterior shot of the World Trade Center (not from the pre-9/11 teaser) wasn’t used due to 9/11, both art concepts by Wil Rees shows Peter contemplates burning his costume in the boiler room of the hospital in which Aunt May is hospitalized, and the Green Goblin kidnaps Mary Jane from her apartment, and children coming out of the tram after Spider-Man saves them at the Queensboro bridge.
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
An extended version of Spider-Man 2, titled Spider-Man 2.1, was released on DVD in April 2007. It contains 8 extra minutes (for a total running time of 2:15) in 3 new, 1 alternate, and 11 extended scenes. Just over half the added material fleshes out the plot: a new scene where a friend challenges MJ about her decision to marry, an extra minute in Peter's birthday party to underscore Harry's hatred of Spider-Man, an extended, more downbeat conversation with MJ afterwards (seen in some TV versions), a longer introduction of Octavius and his wife, a brief new scene where Peter in class is distracted by both his fears about Octavius's experiment and his love for MJ, and a bit more of Peter trying to talk his way into MJ's play. There is extra comedy, with more of the pizza delivery scene, a longer, completely different elevator encounter, and a brief new scene where Jameson plays at being Spidey in his office. Two extended scenes address the movie's themes more than the plot: there is over a minute more with the doctor and a bit more of Peter's conversation with Ben. Finally, there are tiny extra additions to two early action scenes, and more than a minute added to the two major Doc Ock encounters: a brief extra sequence in the first fight, and a longer one atop the train.

In August 11, 2020, two scenes that were not included in theatrical and editor’s cut versions of Spider-Man 3, but, partially found by YouTube user EPH 00. The two scenes were Flint visits Dr. Wallace and asks him to cure his daughter Penny, with the money that he just stole, and the original Venom’s demise scene. There are three soundless shots from the Dr Wallace scene, which involves Sandman coming out of the air vent, Flint talking to Dr. Wallace, and Flint smashing Wallace into the window. Dr. Wallace was portrayed by Adrian Lester. From the alternate Venom’s demise scene, there are two soundless shots, which involves Peter desperately trying to set himself free from the giant Venom by tearing up the symbiote, and the steer rods fall from the giant sling that Peter tilted. On May 13th, 2021, the user posted more stock footage of the scenes, which suggests details of Dr. Wallace’s laboratory, extra takes of the pole of steel rods that Peter yanks, and new extra footage of Eddie’s skeleton body and skull.
