A new Spider-Man: Brand New Day promo photo may have just spoiled a new superpower that the web-slinger will acquire in the MCU that is most commonly linked to Tobey Maguire's beloved web-slinger. Many fans are still reeling from the early 2000s Spider-Man's surprise(ish) comeback in No Way Home. If rumors are to be believed, the MCU isn't quite done with Maguire yet, as he will seemingly be back this year for Avengers: Doomsday and next year in Secret Wars.
A collab promo between Takis and Spider-Man: Brand New Day has begun circulating social media (via Aranhaverso Brasil) and offered a new look at Tom Holland's web-slinger back in action. One subtle detail has seemingly spoiled a new superpower he will acquire in the July blockbuster.
While the authenticity of the collab remains unverified for the time being, it seems to reveal a very telling look at Peter Parker in action in his Brand New Day suit, which has been ranked among the best in Spider-Man movie history.
An up-close look at Spider-Man's wrist revealed the web-slinging superhero is casting silky thread with no mechanical shooters to be seen, indicating that he will acquire the fresh talent to blast organic webs in Brand New Day.
Tobey Maguire’s wall-crawler has one distinct difference from his fellow Spider-Man as he acquired his web-shooting abilities from the radioactive spider bite. This organic webbing is unique to the 2000s Spider-Man, as those played by Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield use mechanical shooters crafted by Peter Parker.
Organic webbing was a creative decision from director Sam Raimi, who reportedly thought it simply made sense for Peter to acquire one of spiders' signature abilities from the bite, while he also struggled to believe a school student, even a genius one, would have the ability and resources to develop a high-tech web shooter.
For a several-year period during the Raimi trilogy in the early 2000s, in a classic example of movie-comic synergy, Spider-Man acquired organic webbing on the page, dying and being reborn in a cocoon with the new talent.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day Rumor May Explain How Peter Gets Organic Webbing
With every passing day and new update, Spider-Man: Brand New Day's storyline becomes that much tougher to piece together. From street-level elements with the Punisher and Tombstone, to the Hulk's confusing inclusion, to a mutant being pursued by Damage Control, to Peter Parker somehow acquiring organic webbing, there's no telling how Marvel Studios will weave these webs together.
Fans previously caught a peak at Spider-Man's redesigned web shooters in Brand New Day, but it seems those won't be needed for long given his new abilities. Given how shocked the MCU's wall-crawler was when he saw webs emerge straight from Peter 2's wrists in Spider-Man: No Way Home, one can only imagine how he will react in acquiring these mutated abilities himself.
Of course, the internet has already began to theorize how Spider-Man will develop this new superpower. It's tough to imagine the MCU directly adapting the comic storyline, in which Peter Parker was kissed by the Spider-Queen, transformed into a terrifying spider creature in body horror fashion, became pregnant, eventually died, and gave birth to a near-identical version of himself (yes, really).
A rumor shared on YouTube by John Campea claimed that, throughout Brand New Day, Peter will be "literally mutating into a spider," prompting a "race" to stop him completely transforming. That storyline may explain why Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner plays into things, offering his scientific expertise but also somehow having his own Savage Hulk side unleashed at some point.
