Spider-Man's suit will feature a little upgrade in the upcoming "Spider-Man: Homecoming" film.

Hints about the rumored costume upgrade for Tom Holland's version of Spider-Man were dropped during the Comic Con Experience 2016 in Brazil held last weekend, and were shared on the Twitter posts of Marvel Digital Media executive editor Ryan Penagos.

According to Penagos, the new Spider-Man will be able to move from one building to another with the help of the web wings on his costume. This will bring back the classic look of the original Spider-Man costume with webs attached under the arms, which was drawn by the character's co-creator Steve Ditko in 1962.

Penagos also noted that Spider-Man's costume upgrade was given by Tony Stark, also known as the Iron Man. This is not the first costume enhancement that the billionaire owner of the Stark Industries gave the new Spider-Man on the movies.

In the closing credits of "Captain America: Civil War," Robert Downey Jr.'s character created an operating system display and attached it to Spider-Man's old belt. This is also a part of the original costume that was designed by Ditko. This proves that the upcoming installment of the "Spider-Man" movie franchise will go back to the character's roots as an awkward high-school student whose life changed after being bitten by a radioactive spider.

Meanwhile, a short teaser for the upcoming "Spider-Man: Homecoming" was also released during the Comic Con Experience 2016 in Brazil.

Based on the description that was spotted by Collider on the Brazilian website Omelete, Spider-Man's alter-ego Peter Parker will show his costume to Happy Hogan, portrayed by Jon Favreau. A note from Tony Stark was also reportedly seen on a package address to Peter in the trailer, saying that the costume will have several minor upgrades.

The film also stars Marisa Tomei as Aunt May, Michael Keaton as Vulture, and Zendaya as Michelle.

"Spider-Man: Homecoming" is expected to be released in theaters on July 7, 2017.
