Back in July 2015, a person reached out to The Daily SuperHero who was a newer 'source.' Sometimes it can be hard to verify the legitimacy of new sources so we ran the information as rumor.
Our rumor post claimed two things about Spider-Man in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR. The first was that his new suit might have underarm webbing as first seen in his very first appearances in comics in the 60s. The other was that Peter Parker's homemade Spidey suit would look like a version of the Scarlet Spider costume as seen in the comics. Click here to read this older rumor post.
Good thing we reported this as a rumor because they were both wrong... kinda. The homemade suit debatably had a few similar aspects in its look to the Scarlet Spider suit but the underarm webbing did not make the cut, in Civil War.
Then today happened as the website JoBlo is reporting new rumors about SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING. Here's the bullet points of what they're hearing from their sources; again, these are rumors:
- Vulture is indeed the villain and he isn't the only bad guy.
- The Tinkerer will appear and creates a suit for the Vulture from Chitauri tech left from the Battle of New York, in THE AVENGERS.
- Tony Stark will provide Peter Parker with suit upgrades.
- One such upgrade is what they're calling "web wings," which can be deployed when needed.
Those "web wings" sound a lot like the info from our rumor report last year. Underarm webbing is most definitely the same thing here, but with a different name, so it looks like The Daily SuperHero's source was right but not for the right movie. Unless Marvel Studios and the Russo Brothers decided to have it at first, but then save it for SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING instead. (That last part was just a guess, btw.)
Regardless of our own interests in our rumor post from last year, this info sounds great.
SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING begins filming at Pinewood Studios in Atlanta, in the coming month or two this summer, and releases on July 7, 2017.
