Sony Pictures has premiered a new featurette about Tom Holland’s Spider-Man costume in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”.
The clip goes into detail about how the outfit was inspired by previous screen incarnations and takes us through concept art and the suit’s creation as Holland and filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton weigh in with their takes.
Cretton says it was important that it looked like a costume and material on a person that someone was actually wearing, as opposed to an always smooth look that screams CG animated:
Holland: “When we decided that we were going to make Spider-Man: Brand New Day, we said, ‘What if we made a suit that was an homage to Tobey’s and Andrew’s designs?’. Because now my Peter Parker had met those guys. So, we kind of created a spider-child of all three costumes. Everything had to fit into the world of Peter Parker, and we went back to that dumpster diver kid who’s retrofitting old tech. It gave a real purpose to why the suit looks the way it does.”
Cretton: “The suit does have a bit of a tactile feel to it. We are embracing the folds and the wrinkles when it moves, it’s actually material, and you can see the human beneath the material.”
The results have been extremely well received by the fandom with many touting it as the best suit yet on social media, and certainly the most loyal to the comics. “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” opens in cinemas on July 31st.
