Early marketing art for Spider-Man: Brand New Day have leaked online, and appears to confirm a major rumor about Tom Holland‘s Web-Slinger.
Brand New Day is Holland’s fourth solo movie, and it’s going to include a smorgasbord of characters from throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the comics that fans have been waiting to see for quite some time.
While the story is being kept under wraps, we know that Jon Bernthal is returning to reprise his role as the Punisher for the first time on the big screen. He recently appeared in Daredevil: Born Again, where he fought the Anti-Vigilante Task Force run by Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio). He’ll also be joined by Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, and Michael Mando as longtime Spidey villain, Scorpion.
Marvel fans were disappointed that Disney didn’t reveal a Spider-Man: Brand New Day Super Bowl trailer, but artwork for the film has started to make its way online — and it looks like Peter Parker is in for a major change in the sequel.
Peter Parker will seemingly get organic webbing in Spider-Man: Brand New Day
The new Spider-Man: Brand New Day art appears to confirm that he’ll get organic webbing in the sequel. In the comics, the hero uses his science know-how to create his own web-fluid for his web-shooters.
Holland’s version of Peter was noticeably shocked in No Way Home when Tobey Maguire’s version of Peter revealed that he has organic webbing which shoots out of his wrists.
Now it looks like Holland is getting his own organic evolution, because it’s clear that the suit doesn’t have the chunky mechanical web-shooters around Spidey’s wrists, as seen in the first image in the tweet. A second piece of art also followed suit, also with a distinct lack of web-shooters.
Rumors have swirled for some time about Peter’s powers evolving in Brand New Day, seemingly linked to the stress of living a lonely life after everyone in his world has forgotten who he is in the aftermath of No Way Home.
Concept art of the hero also appeared online showing him without the web-shooters, and fans were divided in the comments about whether or not Marvel should ditch the web-shooters entirely. One person wrote: “Honestly it’s stupid for him to be Spider-Man but NEEDS to make his own webbing in a lab. Let him evolve in the movie and give him organic webbing.”
Another added: “Giving him webshooters at all doesn’t make sense when you stop to ask…. Why can’t SPIDER-MAN naturally shoots webs like a spider?” Some fans pointed out that his web-shooters could be inside the suit, while others defended the gadgets wholeheartedly.
“Well that sucks. I always thought it was a neat handicap to have him be wary of his amount of webbing left,” one person wrote, before another said: “The webshooters show that he’s incredibly smart. Take that away and he’s just a kid lucked his way into being a superhero.”
