Tom Holland says Brand New Day’s Spider-Man suit looks back at two earlier Peters
The redesign adds raised webbing and a more defined chest logo, and Destin Daniel Cretton said it was built to feel like someone is inside the suit.
Tom Holland said the Spider-Man: Brand New Day suit was built as a nod to the two big-screen Spider-Men who came before his Peter Parker. In a clip shared on X, Holland said the team asked what would happen if the costume paid tribute to Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s designs, since his Peter has already met both of them.

He described it as a “Spider-Child” of all three costumes, with the look still tied to the same scrappy kid energy Peter had in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The update adds more raised webbing, a sharper chest emblem, and side folds that lean closer to Garfield’s The Amazing Spider-Man suit.
The redesign is meant to feel practical, too. Director Destin Daniel Cretton said the crew wanted the folds and wrinkles to show when the suit moves so it feels like a real person is underneath it.
The new look lands as Peter Parker heads into a messier stretch. The world has forgotten his secret identity, Holland has teased that the movie’s real villain has not been fully revealed yet, and Ned Leeds, MJ, The Punisher, Bruce Banner, and Sadie Sink’s mystery role all sit around the fallout. Spider-Man: Brand New Day will open in cinemas on July 31.
