The latest Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer is out (watch it above), and beyond the epic footage of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man battling Michael Keaton’s Vulture in a Marvel cinematic Universe world, we also got some more plot details about how Spider-Man’s costume plays an active part in the story.

…or should we say, costumes. Already in the Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer we see Peter Parker/Spider-Man change outfits twice: though he starts off with the upgraded tech-heavy suit that Tony Stark designed for him in Civil War, we now know that the battle with Vulture on the Staten Island ferry causes a situation that makes Stark revoke his gift to Spider-Man – leaving Peter to once again don the homemade costume we saw “The Spider-Man” wearing in YouTube footage shown during Civil War.
However, Marvel movies (and merchandising) being what they are, we have to wonder: Will We See a Third Costume in Spider-Man: Homecoming?
Final Act Wardrobe

From theย Spider-Man: Homecomingย trailer, it seems as though Peter will lose his hi-tech suit about halfway in, and will have to have his climatic battle with Michael Keaton’sย Vulture in his homemade duds.ย
The question is: what happens after Spider-man proves himself a worthy hero by defeating Vulture? No one expects Spider-Man to keep fighting crime in a jankyย outfit – does Tony Stark return his original hi-tech suit? Or does Peter get something entirely new to wear?ย
With the latter, there’s multiple possibilities for how that new costume could be obtained by Peter Parker…
ย
Depends on the Maker

The question at hand regarding Spideyย getting a third suit in the final act ofย Spider-Man: Homecomingย is: who would make it?ย
The film’s storyllineย deals with how the increasingly advanced technology littering the Marvel Cinematic Universe is starting to make its way down to street-level people like Adrian Toomes/Vulture (Michael Keaton), Herman Schultz/Shocker (Bokeemย Woodbine), and Phineasย Mason/Tinkerer (Michael Chernus). The themes of that story are also echoed in Peter Parker’s storyline with Tony Stark, in the trailer scene where Peter claims to be “nothing” without the suit and its tech – to which Tony retorts that’s he’s nothing if he needs the suit that bad.ย
If Peter goes through a final arc of having to learn to rely on his own genius and powers (and not Stark tech) to win the day, then it could stand to reason that Peter Parker also learns to be more self reliant and designs his own threads to wear – with some increased resources, of course…ย
ย
Which New Costume to Wear?

Depending on how Peter obtains his new suit (from Stark or self designed being the two most likely) then there are several options for what that costume could be.ย
- Ironย Spider – When Spider-Man joined Team Iron Man in the Marvel Comics version of “Civil War,” Stark gave him a new outfitย that is referred to as the “Iron Spider” costume. It’s red and gold like Iron Man’s armor, and has array of gadgets – including mechanical Spider legs. If Tony gives Peter a new costume that will serve him during Avengers: Infinity War‘s big cosmic battle – this would be it.
- Classic Costume – While the Stark suit Peter wears at the beginning of Homecomingย has a lot of throwback elements built into it (like the eyes and wings), there’s definitely room to bring something a little bit closer to the traditional costume design to the screen. If Peter makes his own design, then something with fewer bells and whistlesย and a classic look would be fitting.
- Black Suit – This is just more wishful thinking than anything. Right now, it seems the upcomingย Venomย movie is not really connected to Spider-Man or the MCUย – but if Spideyย got to wear the black costume for at the very end ofย Homecomingย and through Avengers:ย Infinity War, it would be a nice way backdoor prologue to theย Venomย spinoff, without Marvel having to get it’s hands dirty.ย
