Spider-Man: Brand New Day Will Potentially Rewrite Peter Parker’s Most Important MCU Trait

by

The new movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is set to shake things up, and that could be great for the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Peter Parker’s past experiences – including events from the Home trilogy and his involvement in Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame – will still shape his point of view, this film is designed to be a completely new beginning for the character.

Rumors suggest this version of the character is experiencing significant physical transformations. If true, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man might ditch his web-shooters and instead gain the ability to produce webs naturally. This change could have both advantages and disadvantages.

Will Brand New Day’s MCU Spidey Gain Organic Webs?

According to recent reports, Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day might develop new abilities after being wrapped in a web cocoon, potentially even transforming into a Man-Spider-like form. The most talked-about change is that he could gain the ability to produce webs organically, meaning he wouldn’t need his web-shooters anymore.

The rumor gains a little more weight if recent leaked photos of Spider-Man’s new costume from Spider-Man: Brand New Day are accurate – they seem to show a suit without web-shooters. It’s possible the web-shooters are simply hidden under the suit, as they often are in the comics. However, the idea that Spider-Man might not need them anymore is still quite interesting.

While a furry, multi-limbed spider-form for Peter would be cool, it looks like his transformation might go even further. If the new suit doesn’t include web-shooters, Peter seems poised to develop a natural ability to replace them. This wouldn’t change his intelligence, but it would be fascinating to see how he uses his mind in daily life without having to worry about running out of web fluid.

Web-Shooters Punctuate Peter’s Intelligence

Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man was shown as fairly intelligent, but the films directed by Sam Raimi didn’t really emphasize that aspect of the character. Instead, the movies focused on Peter Parker’s struggles as a young adult trying to make ends meet. We see him working as a freelance photographer throughout the trilogy, and constantly juggling responsibilities like delivering pizzas, going to class, and trying to be on time – all while secretly being Spider-Man.

In Spider-Man 2, Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker experienced a compelling story arc when he temporarily lost his ability to shoot webs—and even cling to walls. The impact of this loss was significant because he originally had these natural abilities; otherwise, losing them wouldn’t have been as dramatic or meaningful for the film.

The fact that Peter didn’t need to build web-shooters in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movies felt like a missed opportunity. His intelligence, though present, wasn’t a key part of his character, which was disappointing because it’s so central to his identity in the comics. Later versions of Spider-Man, played by Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland, fixed this, making web-shooters an important way to show off their smarts.

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is capable of inventing his own web-shooters, but the movie Spider-Man: Homecoming suggests otherwise. After Ned Leeds turns off the safety features on the high-tech suit Tony Stark provided, Peter depends on the suit’s built-in AI, nicknamed “Karen,” rather than relying on his own skills.

Look, after three films as Spider-Man, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker has more than proven he’s a quick thinker. But I’m a little worried about this change to organic web-shooters. If it means he can’t create those intricate, inventive web designs we’ve come to expect – the kind that only tech-based shooters allow – then it could really be a step backwards, honestly. It’d be a shame to lose that creative element of his powers.

Organic Webbing May Not Be Permanent

It’s unfortunate that Tom Holland’s Peter Parker might not need web-shooters anymore, as they’ve led to some great moments, like when he relied on his spider-sense to fight Mysterio’s drones in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Even if Peter does develop the ability to create webs naturally in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it’s not certain that this power will last.

Since Tom Holland’s Spider-Man has already met Tobey Maguire’s version, he won’t be surprised to see organic webbing. In fact, it’s a fun chance for him to playfully mention Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man (or “Peter 2”) in conversation, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe will likely take advantage of that opportunity.
