The new horror movie Tarot is generating buzz for its home release, thanks to its star, Jacob Batalon, known for his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man trilogy.
During the press junket for “Tarot,” Jacob Batalon disclosed to ComicBook.com that the film’s director, Spenser Cohen, shot two endings, with one being ultimately discarded.
“We filmed an alternate ending that’s quite humorous. However, the one we chose for the final cut is the perfect conclusion, in my opinion.”
ComicBook.com interviewer Chris Killian hints that the ending of “Tarot” is a unique addition to the horror movie genre. While fans may be interested in the alternate ending that was considered, they are equally intrigued by the theatrical cut’s resolution, which will be revealed upon the film’s release on Friday.
What Is Tarot (2024) About?

One by one, they come face to face with fate and end up in a race against death to escape the future foretold in their readings.
The cast of “Tarot” boasts Jacob Batalon, Harriet Slater, Avantika Vandanapu, Wolfgang Novogratz, Olwen Fouéré, Larsen Thompson, Adain Bradley, and Humnberly González.
Will Jacob Batalon Return For Spider-Man 4?
In the MCU’s Spider-Man “Home” trilogy, Jacob Batalon portrayed Ned Leeds, the best friend of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker and his official sidekick (or “Guy in the Chair”). Ned assisted Peter throughout the three films, but in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” he (along with Zendaya’s MJ) became victims of Doctor Strange’s spell, which eradicated the world’s knowledge of Peter Parker’s secret identity.
Exploring the future of Holland’s Spider-Man in the MCU, it remains uncertain whether the original supporting cast will make a return or if the story will take a new direction with a different supporting cast.
Batalon remains uncertain about the characters’ futures in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Despite expressing hope for their continued presence, he acknowledges the lack of connections between them, saying, “It’s sad that he has no friends anymore.”
Mark your calendars for Friday when Tarot hits the big screen.
