After a successful Marvel Cinematic Universe debut inCaptain America: Civil War, the new Peter Parker (Tom Holland) will return for his first stand alone adventure inSpider-Man: Homecoming. We’ve already seen in the firstSpider-Man: Homecoming trailerthat Spidey’s suit has an impressive new upgrade, web wings, which he’s seen using to fly over a police helicopter. As we continue to wait for the second trailer, a brief video has emerged from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) convention, which showcases some of the other upgrades on Peter Parker’s new suit.
The video debuted onTwitterearlier today, which coincides with the first day of CES, running from today through January 8. While the movie doesn’t have an official presence at the convention, this video was crafted to look like a CES product video, showing some of the suit’s new upgrades. As we already knew, the video begins with confirmation thatTony Stark(Robert Downey Jr.) designed this suit specifically for Peter Parker, while running down some of he new features.
The first new upgrade we’re shown is the suit’s upgradedweb shooters, which allow Peter Parker to choose from several different “selectable web types,” along with a laser targeting system. The next upgrade is the web wings we saw in the trailer, although there are no further updates given about what these web wings can do. The next feature is a GPS tracking system with a holographic wrist display, which we first saw in the post-credits scene ofCaptain America: Civil War, and the final upgrade is the expressive eyes on the Spidey mask that actually move.
We also saw inconcept artfromCaptain America: Civil Warthat there was almost a social media function embedded into the holographic wrist display. The concept art was designed for the post credits scene inCivil War, where Peter is seen projecting his Spider-Man holographic display onto his bedroom wall. This concept art shows there was also a social media message from Tony Stark, telling Peter to “swing by the tower, got some upgrades you should see.” That function never made it into the final cut, but perhaps it may be resurrected forSpider-Man: Homecoming.
