The Spider-Man costume reveal is already generating major buzz for the MCU’s future. The post featured extreme close-up sH๏τs of the new suit, with the caption “Something brand new is coming…” With this simple but significant visual upgrade, the MCU may finally be paying homage to one of the most beloved elements of Maguire’s original look.
Tom Holland’s New Spider-Man Suit Has Raised Webbing Like Tobey Maguire
The raised webbing featured in the new Spider-Man costume is unmistakably reminiscent of Tobey Maguire’s suits. It was one of the defining aesthetic choices of that trilogy and set a gold standard for superhero costume design. Now, the MCU seems to be borrowing that exact detail.
Previously, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man suits have consistently featured a sleek, modern aesthetic. The Stark-designed suits in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Infinity War were smooth and featured webbing decals. The red-and-black upgrade in Spider-Man: Far From Home similarly leaned into high-tech polish.
Interestingly, this new suit could signal a more grounded, hand-crafted style for Peter going forward. Unlike Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire’s made his own costumes. With the MCU’s Spider-Man losing his support team, he is likewise making his own suits. The raised webbing feature mirrors this and has a neat in-universe explanation.
The MCU’s Spider-Man Suit Design Referencing Tobey Maguire Makes Perfect Sense
If the new Spider-Man suit really is borrowing elements from Maguire’s look, it might be more than a simple stylistic choice. After meeting both Maguire’s Spider-Man in Spider-Man: No Way Home, it’s possible he was inspired by their iconic Spider-Man suits and copied them. However, it could have greater significance.
In Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter was exposed to very different versions of himself. They were older, wiser, and more self-made. They left a lasting impression on Peter, and he was palpably changed by meeting them. Maguire’s variant stopping him from killing the Green Goblin had an especially profound impact.
The raised webbing is a visual signifier of having learned from his older and more experienced predecessors. It suggests that he has taken on, literally, their more homemade methods. The new suit doesn’t just look cool; it may be a sign that Peter’s journey has come full circle in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
