Tom Holland Finally Reveals the Touching Secret Behind His Spider-Man: Brand New Day Suit

Tom Holland is already out there talking about the new Spider-Man suit, and yeah, the influences are exactly what you think. As cameras keep rolling on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, he laid out how this costume pulls from Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield while kicking off what he sees as a fresh chapter for Peter. Release date is locked for July 31, 2026, so consider this your early look at what they are going for.

The suit: familiar DNA, new era energy

• Big-brother vibe: Holland told Complex he likes the idea that Peter is looking up to his predecessors and borrowing little details he thinks are cool. He is not operating as part of a larger team this time, so the suit is truly his.
• What it nods to: the design blends Maguire-era raised webbing with Garfield-style touches. It is not subtle, and it is not meant to be. Costume nerds will clock it immediately.
• Comfort and performance: Holland says this version is a lot comfier than what he has worn before. It was built differently from the prior MCU suits, with much more flexibility, which lets them lean into sides of the character they have not been able to explore previously. He is also over the moon about how it photographs.
• Not just fan service: unlike No Way Home, which he frames as paying respects to the other Spider-Men, this is Peter actively trying to live up to those guys while carving out his own thing.

A reset, not a sequel

"It really feels like we are not making the fourth movie. We are making the first movie in the next chapter. This is Spider-Man: Brand New Day, this is a rebirth, this is something completely new."

That is Holland, and that is the pitch. Call it the big-brother suit for the start of a new run.

Context and where this came from

Holland walked through the changes in a chat with Complex, which also popped up on the outlet's Instagram via Complex Pop. He added that he is glad people are picking up on the Tobey-and-Andrew homage, which he sees as part of the character's headspace right now. Brand New Day is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and opens July 31, 2026, with filming currently underway. The interview made the rounds after SuperHeroHype flagged it, with ComingSoon picking it up too.
