MARVEL MARATHON DEEP DIVE
PETER’S
TO-DO LIST
Peter’s To-Do List is a short built from footage cut from Spider-Man: Far From Home. It follows Peter Parker through the errands he has to finish before his class trip to Europe, and it arrived with the film’s home release.
ERRANDS BEFORE EUROPE
WHAT PETER HAS TO GET DONE
In the short, Peter and Ned talk at school about the jobs Peter must finish before the field trip. Peter visits Delmar’s for a dual headphone adaptor and a travel plug, sells his action figures at a pawn shop to buy MJ a necklace while keeping Lobot, and uses the Spider Drone from Homecoming to open a post office window. He then fights a crime mob as Iron Spider and tells the police he is going on holiday.
The short uses footage cut from the theatrical film, and Hemky Madera reprises his Homecoming role as Mr. Delmar, the bodega owner.
A MONTAGE THAT DID NOT MAKE THE FILM
WHY IT BECAME A SHORT
Jon Watts discussed the cut material during the press tour for Far From Home in June 2019. He said the errands were all part of one montage, and explained what would happen to it:
“that will be its own little short film that we’re going to put on the Blu-ray.”
Jon Watts, 27 June 2019
The sequences had been cut from the theatrical release despite appearing in trailers, and they were fully finished.
ONLINE BEFORE THE DISC
HOW AND WHEN IT CAME OUT
The short is included with the home media release of Far From Home, which came out on digital on 17 September 2019 and on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD on 1 October. Marvel Studios is credited as producer, and the short was posted online in full on 25 September 2019, ahead of the disc release.
It is a bonus short rather than part of the film’s theatrical cut.
THE REWATCH
WHERE IT SITS IN THE CATALOGUE
In the Marvel Marathon it sits in the MCU release order guide between Spider-Man: Far From Home and The Daily Bugle Season 1, and in the Spider-Man movies in order guide in the same position. It is not in the MCU timeline guide. Aggregator scores are left out because it is a home-release extra, not a theatrical release.
