We’re finally getting a good luck at the Tony Stark designed Iron Spider suit from the final moments ofSpider-Man: Homecoming. TheIron Spidersuit was teased at the end ofHomecomingand more recently it was featured on the new poster forAvengers: Infinity Warthat was released last weekend at San Diego Comic-Con. The new poster saw a few more changes for characters in the upcoming movie including the Iron Spider suit as well as Steve Rogers in full Nomad mode as well as Black Widow going incognito with blonde hair.
The new reveal for theSpider-ManIron Spider suit comes to us courtesy ofArt of VFX’s interview withHomecoming’s VFX supervisor Dominik Zimmerle and it looks pretty amazing. The colors are a nice red, black, and gold with a nice mix of what we saw inHomecomingand the original comic books. The new suit might be another hard pill to swallow for people that had a hard time getting used to Tom Holland’s suit inHomecoming, but how else is Peter Parker supposed to go up against Thanos, and look cool next to his mentorIron Manwhile doing it? An upgrade is certainly necessary for this kind of battle.
Dominik Zimmerle of Trixter spoke to Art of VFX about his involvement withSpider-Man: Homecoming, mentioning that they were originally brought on because of their work on past Marvel movies includingIron Man 3andAvengers: Age of Ultron. Zimmerle has also been the VFX supervisor onAnt-Manand the non-Marvel movieIndependence Day: Resurgence. Zimmerle talks about the Iron Spider suit and says that it was primarily made for “the next installments of the MCU” and that he and Trixter took notes from studio to make the suit not only look like it was designed by Stark, but also make it look like aStark presentation, which meant that work on the vault itself had to be designed as well.
The Iron Spider suit was introduced in the comic book version ofCivil Warafter Peter Parker joins Stark’s team.Tony Starkthen gives Parker a suit and an Iron Man/Spider-Man-themed suit that is decked out with a whole bunch of new tricks, including 3 more appendages. It has been rumored since the inception of the MCU that we would get a look at the Iron Spider suit on the big screen, but it took until the end ofHomecomingto make it a reality.
So, there we have it, the first real look at the Iron Spider suit, which we are about to see a lot more of when the whole team assembles to go up against Thanos. The Art of VFX interview with Dominik Zimmerle is really informative on the effects side of things and his highly recommended for anybody who like to learn about the creative forces behind the scenes.Avengers: Infinity Waris set to hit theaters on May 4th, 2018, so I n the meantime you’re able to check out the new picture of the Iron Spider suit below.
