In pure Tom Holland fashion, get a look at the new Spider-Man suit from the upcoming Brand New Day movie
Almost nothing that happens in Hollywood is an accident. The rat crawled into frame in the final shot of The Departed because Scorsese wanted it to be there (and no amount of CGI can change that fact, you weirdos). So it shouldn’t surprise us that a new look at the Spider-Man suit from Spider-Man: Brand New Day came from the carefully curated social media feed of Spidey himself, Tom Holland.
If you, like me, thought Spider-Man: No Way Home featured way too many murky CGI environments, the photos that Holland posted on his Instagram are a welcome sight. I mean, Spidey is actually standing outdoors, in daylight, on physical objects. Could this signal the return of a more street-level sensibility for Holland’s Spider-Man? Let’s certainly hope so. It’s also good to see director Destin Daniel Cretton in frame, as well. Take a look below.
Holland’s reveal comes just a day after Sony Pictures posted a video of Holland hopping around like a boxer before sauntering up to the camera to show off his new threads. I’ll admit that I, too, have bopped around while waiting for a pair of studio doors to open, only to reverse course entirely and walk in the opposite direction before confirming that I was “ready.” My Spider-snark aside, it’s a cute tease, and it’s nice to see Tom Holland as Spidey again.
What’s notable about the new Spidey suit is that it’s got a bigger spider symbol on the chest in comparison to Holland’s previous suits. That said, the abdomen of the spider isn’t as big as the ones we’ve seen on Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire’s suits. I’ll admit that I don’t know enough about spider biology in general to say if this new suit’s spider symbol resembles any particular species of spider out in nature. But I’ll leave that job to you all.
