Billy Clements, who plays Ramrod in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, has revealed that many of Ramrod’s scenes were cut from the final version of the film.
On Instagram, Clements thanked Spidey fans and Marvel Studios for making him part of Brand New Day and shared some BTS images. He said, “A lot of Ramrod’s stuff was cut, but when they had to cut out 3 hours…” Also, he revealed that several well-known actors were completely removed from the movie during editing.
To prepare for the role, Clements studied Ramrod’s comic book appearances and trained for two hours a day. Following the cuts, he said he was grateful to appear in the final theatrical release.
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day, playing ‘Ramrod,’ out now! 🕸️
So amazing to play another Marvel comic book character! The Russian and Ramrod. I love comics, and to own a comic where you’re on the front cover is, to me, so, so, so cool.
A lot of Ramrod’s stuff was cut, but when they had to cut out 3 hours, and a lot more recognized actors were totally cut out, I’m really happy to be there, if only for a bit.
I really wanted to do my best to represent the character as accurately as possible by studying all of Ramrod’s comic appearances, so I trained 2 hours a day. Thank you @eddiehallwsm for the diet advice.
Thank you @marvelstudios and @vancityreynolds for these amazing opportunities, and to everyone who made it possible.”
Speaking to Nerdtropolis, director Destin Daniel Cretton revealed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day was originally planned to feature a major battle involving multiple classic Spider-Man villains. The large-scale fight sequence was ultimately cut from the final version of the film. The villains had already received finished designs. He hopes to potentially reuse them in the next film.
In an interview with Quotable, Tom Holland revealed that he and the filmmakers were unhappy with an early cut of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. He said the first version of the film “totally didn’t work.”
Holland said, “They took all of the notes from the test screenings, and then they changed the movie… It totally didn’t work. It was what the people were asking for, but it wasn’t quite what we wanted as the creatives.”
According to early reviews, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is not only Tom Holland’s best Spider-Man movie, but also one of the best Spider-Man films, period. It is described as super emotional and heartfelt, packed with unforgettable moments and amazing direction.
After the record-breaking global success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks an entirely new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man.
Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he’s devoted himself entirely to protecting his city — a full-time Spider-Man — but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton from a screenplay by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. The film stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, with Zendaya and Jacob Batalon reprising their roles as MJ Watson and Ned Leeds. Sadie Sink as Jean Grey alongside Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle (a.k.a. The Punisher) and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, Liza Colón-Zayas and Tramell Tillman, while Michael Mando returns as Mac Gargan from Spider-Man: Homecoming and Marvin Jones III as Tombstone.
The film is produced by Amy Pascal, Rachel O’Connor, Feige, Louis D’Esposito, and Mitch Bell.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled to hit theaters on July 31, 2026.
