Our first look at Spider-Man's new live-action duds may have swung on-line, giving us a tease of what Tom Holland's Web slinger will look like in Captain America: Civil War.
As BirthDeathMovies recently sleuthed, a new Twitter account that may or may not officially belong to Civil War directors Joe and Anthony Russo began tweeting some up-close photos from the movie's set. Within the account's flurry of of photos, two photos stand-out as possible teases of Spider-Man's suit.
The first tweet shows a goggle laying on top of red fabric. As BDM speculated, this goggle could very-well be a part of Spider-Man's lenses. The shutters on the goggles would allow Spidey to squint and convey emotion for the otherwise expressionless mask, as Marvel Comics artists often do.

The second tweet really piques our interest, however. The textured fabric all but screams "superhero suit," but which one? The red and dark blue/black (depending on who you ask) color scheme could signal Captain America, but what if it was really for Spider-Man? It's worth remembering that in his early days, Spider-Man rocked a red and black/navy blue uniform before brightening things up with the royal blue color scheme we all associate with the character today. And given that Spider-Man's earliest comic adventures saw him in high school, as this new on-screen iteration's will, it makes all the more likely that Captain America: Civil War's (and the 2018 Spider-Man solo film) Spider-Man will sport the Steve Ditko-Designed red and black costume.

But, this is all speculation for now. We don't even know of the Russo account is real or not, much less the photos it Tweeted. To see BDM's full analysis of the suit photos, along with the account's other tweets, head here.
What do you think readers? Could these photos be early glimpses of Tom Holland's Spider-Man suit? Let us know in the comments!
