Let us quickly flashback to July 2015 when an insider reached out to us here at DailySuperHero.com to inform us that Marvel Studios was considering underarm webbing for the Spider-Man suit in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) version of the hero. Initially, we thought fans might see the underarm webbing in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR but that wasn't the case because what we were told was actually conceptual designs for Spidey's first solo MCU film.
Then, in May 2016, this story re-emerged stating Spidey's underarm webbing would in fact appear in SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING.
Yesterday, after a quick glimpse of footage for SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING was teased at Brazil's Comic Con Experience, the underarm webbing, also referred to as "web wings," is confirmed by Marvel's own VP and executive editor of digital media Ryan Penagos (a.k.a. Agent M) in a series of tweets; thusly confirming our original report from July 2015.

The Spider-Man Homecoming footage was short but AWESOME. Starts from Spidey's POV, talking with Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) 1/? #ccxp2016— Ryan Penagos (@AgentM) December 2, 2016
There's a case from Tony Stark with an "upgrade" for Spidey. Then we see Spidey leap off a building, open his arms, web wings! #ccxp2016 2/?— Ryan Penagos (@AgentM) December 2, 2016
There were a few more flashes of shots, but I can't remember. That classic underarm webbing look was just so rad. #ccxp2016 3/?— Ryan Penagos (@AgentM) December 2, 2016
This Spider-Man Homecoming slide was how the panel ended. Fun! #ccxp2016 4/4 pic.twitter.com/wUYlXUGLxV— Ryan Penagos (@AgentM) December 2, 2016
Rumors claim the first teaser trailer for SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING will debut very soon and be attached to the beginning of ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY. So get ready to see Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man possibly in the coming weeks!
SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING releases on July 7, 2017.
