Press statement from Sony:

For the first time in Spider-Man history, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been filmed, mastered, and delivered in two aspect ratios, enabling exhibitors to present the best version optimized for each auditorium's screen geometry (for both premium formats and standard screens).

This exhibition-first approach ensures audiences experience the most immersive presentation possible with the image maximizing the use of the entire screen and preserving the filmmakers' creative intent across both Flat and Scope environments. By tailoring the presentation to each screen type, Brand New Day delivers a premium theatrical experience that fully leverages the unique strengths of every auditorium.

To support this enhanced presentation strategy, Spider-Man: Brand New Day will by distributed in two versions:

  • 2.39:1 in a SCOPE container for presentation on SCOPE screens
  • 1.90:1 in a FLAT container for presentation on FLAT screens

Exhibitors should ensure the version is corresponding to their native screen format is scheduled and presented accordingly. As a result, Brand New Day will fill each screen completely and showcase Spider-Man like never before—transforming every theater experience into an unforgettable adventure.

The film is available in 3D & 2D.

I mean it looks like the wide version is just cropped which isn’t great

While that is true, the movie was likely framed for 2.39:1 (like most Hollywood movies) in the first place, but they still shot it at a taller aspect ratio just in case they needed to crop something out. So either way, you aren't missing any details.
