Given the aftermath of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day is likely to bring back a major visual element that only Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 has dared to repeat. Destin Daniel-Cretton’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day will mark the beginning of a new chapter for Peter Parker’s MCU journey, with new allies, new enemies, and a new outlook on his superhero duties. Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘s plot may tie into Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, but its main priority will be establishing Peter Parker’s new status quo.

Despite presenting a new beginning for Spider-Man’s story, Spider-Man: Brand New Day will also have to acknowledge the mᴀssive changes in Peter Parker’s life following Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s ending. Peter Parker has lost contact with MJ, Ned Leeds, and Happy Hogan, and he lost all records of his existence. Most notably, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker will probably retain one major element from Spider-Man: No Way Home, completely intact.

Marvel May Bring Back No Way Home’s Spider-Man Costume For Brand New Day

There Is No In-Universe Reason For Tom Holland’s Peter Parker To Change His Spider-Man Costume

After Doctor Strange performed the memory spell that removed Peter Parker from everyone’s memories, Peter designed and crafted his own Spider-Man costume for the first time in years, this time drawing inspired by his multiversal variants’ costumes. Peter Parker’s final Spider-Man: No Way Home suit is the most comic-accurate costume worn by Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, and it represents the climax of his transformation into a self-sufficient and fully-developed Spider-Man. Following Spider-Man: No Way Home, it wouldn’t make sense for Holland’s Spider-Man to make any changes to his costume.

Peter Parker also lost all his resources and connections at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, meaning he can’t upgrade his costume with high-tech gear, create several variations, or mᴀss-produce it. Spider-Man’s new MCU costume is likely to break easily and be replaced constantly. Peter will probably wear his suit under his civilian clothes and put on his mask and gloves with his hands instead of an activation ʙuттon. All these are recurrent elements in most Spider-Man comics, and they’re traits that help Spider-Man stand apart from most other Marvel heroes in the source material.

The Last Time A Marvel Movie Reused A Spider-Man Costume Was In 2004

Spider-Man’s Costume Changes Between Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 Were Virtually Imperceptible

Tom Holland’s Peter Parker was the first live-action Spider-Man to add high-tech gadgets to his costume, but he isn’t the only one who has changed his suit repeatedly. Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker overhauled his suit in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and the changes in Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man costume between Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 were evident, as the raised webbing went from shiny black to silver. From Spider-Man to Spider-Man 2, however, the only differences in Tobey Maguire’s costume were a slightly bigger chest emblem, thicker lense lining, and a few other subtle details.

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man Costume Should Remain The Same After No Way Home

Spider-Man Doesn’t Need To Keep Upgrading His MCU Costume

Peter Parker’s final Spider-Man: No Way Home costume not only reminds him that he’s back in square one financially, but also proves he has grown into his superhero responsibilities fully without the need for external support. Spider-Man’s current MCU suit doesn’t have any additional details or gadgets. Spandex, basic web-shooters, and possibly a pair of hand-made moving lenses are all Peter Parker needs to continue fighting crime as a Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Changing Spider-Man’s costume or adapting unexplored comic book Spidey looks in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and future installments would be a disservice to Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s ending.

Spider-Man’s homemade costume also helps him stand out in the MCU, as he no longer relies on other characters’ technology or other sources of power. Heroes like Captain America, War Machine, Ant-Man, Bucky Barnes, and the whole New Avengers get their gear from other characters. Daredevil and She-Hulk rely on professional costume designers for their gear, and mystical heroes like Thor and Moon Knight get their clothes and weapons from their respective magic systems. Of all MCU heroes active in Phase 6, Spider-Man is probably the only one who crafts his own stuff.
