Tom Holland: Brand New Day suit is an homage to Maguire and Garfield

Tom Holland says the new Spider-Man suit in Spider-Man: Brand New Day was designed as an homage to the live-action Spider-Men. In a behind-the-scenes video he explains that, because his Peter Parker had met Tobey Maguire's and Andrew Garfield's versions, "we kind of created a Spider-Child of all three costumes." Director Destin Daniel Cretton points out you can see the 'human' beneath the costume: there is no face shield under the mask that gives it that weird jawline and further conceals Spider-Man's identity.

The suit also changes Peter's abilities — he can shoot his own webs now rather than rely on web-technology he created himself (much like Tobey Maguire's Spidey). The newest trailer shows Peter visiting Dr. Bruce Banner for help with his suddenly changing powers; Banner warns they "kinda can't be contained" (and he would know, given that he's the Hulk and all).
