'Spider-Man: Homecoming' spoilers: new Spidey suit gets a nifty upgrade from Tony Stark

Peter Parker can surely crawl up buildings and web up things, which are just among some of his abilities from his vast arsenal. But something new that has not yet been translated yet into the big screen is his capability to fly. And since this Tom Holland version of the superhero now rubs elbows with billionaire, tech genius Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) the kid from Queens gets the suit upgrade which is even cooler than the one he was sporting in "Captain America: Civil War."

New details emerge regarding Marvel Studios' first take on the fan-favorite character in "Spider-Man: Homecoming" during Brazil's largest comic convention, the Comic-Con Experience (CCXP) 2016 where a sneak peak of the film was reportedly shown. In the clip, Happy Hogan, played by the Marvel returnee Jon Favreau, hands Peter a case of the upgraded suit from Mr. Stark. The scene then cuts to a Spidey leaping from a building sporting a web-winged armor. The design is said to be mined from Steve Ditko's iteration of an underarm webbing instead of a more usual full-sized flap making it feel and look very much comic-book authentic. 

It can be remembered that Spidey's initial look from "Civil War" is also very reminiscent of Ditko's design especially with his mechanical eyes that zoom in and out. And it seems like Marvel Studios is looking to capitalize on the vast suit concepts over the years from the pages of the comics with the possibility of changing it up at least in every movie. This one improvement, however, sure is timely with Michael Keaton's Vulture terrorizing the streets opening the possibility of a mid-air duel between the "Homecoming's" hero and villain. 

In hindsight, this allows for a better storytelling in terms of Stark's appearance in the Jon Watts flick. It makes the Avenger involved in the narrative enough but not necessarily hogging the screen time. On the flipside, it also makes it feel like he wasn't just shoe-horned in the film just for the sake of cramming characters into it. 

Almost the same time of this reveal, Cinema Blend coincidentally patches up with Favreau in which the media outlet asked the actor for any additional nugget of information regarding Happy's trip to the other side of New York.

"I'm like ... I'm looking after him," Favreau said on his dynamics with Peter in the film. "He needs someone to help him out."

Happy's latest role that will have him drive down Queens more frequently only solidifies two things: First, Stark is serious in mentoring Peter, and second, "Homecoming" is fully imbibing the John Hughes vibe which is a breath of fresh air for the beaten origins story for the character. The High School setting provides a lighter tone while also tackling the struggles of the young superhero in balancing his public life and his secret identity. Unlike most of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man is one of the few left whose real persona has still yet to be announced. Ironically, this is something so different from Stark who has immediately come forward about being Iron Man after the events of his 2008 debut movie.

"Spider-Man: Homecoming" is set to hit theaters on July 7, 2017, but the first trailer for the flick has been rumored to be attached to "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," which is rolling out this Dec. 16.
